Graduation! 🏃‍♀️🎓

Woohoo! A challenging end to the programme with every single bug being brought home from school by the little people meaning inconsistent opportunities and energy to run for me… but it’s finally done! So proud of myself, never fully believed I would get here 🏁

A huge thank you to all of you here for the support and cheerleading. Coming here whenever I’ve been struggling and receiving encouragement and reassurance that my struggles weren’t unique made all the difference 🫶

..and of course, I’ve signed myself up to a 10K in March because I need the pressure of a deadline to work towards - so the fun starts now! 🙈

Ahh I didn’t know there was a follow on group - thanks so much for sharing! Good to see the NRC 10K plan recommended there too as that’s what I’m planning on doing next 🏃‍♀️

That’s brilliant! I did the magic plan to get to 10k for the first time (like you I booked a race while I was finishing off couch to 5k!) and I used the Nike one more recently coming back from injury. It doesn’t have the warm up/cool down walks and the tone is very different to Couch to 5k. A very nice next step!

Congratulations!!! It's an amazing experience to reach the end - not really believing where you've come from back in Week 1.

I've never been sicker than when I caught bugs brought home from school by my niece and nephew! Ugh!! 'Tis the season, I'm afraid.

Great to have set your goal on a 10K. Which one have you signed up for? My first was to be the Vitality 10000 in London, but the injury couch got in my way.

I used the NRC app for my 10K training but there is also the Magic Plan that MU mentions.

Best of luck and do keep us posted on how you progress...

Thank you! I’ve signed up for the Chester 10K as it’s nice and local to me, I was at the marathon there last weekend to do the mini marathon with my daughter and got swept up in the atmosphere! Going to check out the magic plan too 🏃‍♀️
