Beyond C25K Run 3

[Christrfc]

Today I did the 3rd of the Stepping Stone runs that unlock after completing C25K. This was an easy paced 40 minute run, which sounded like a big step up from the 30 minute runs from week 9. It was however ok and I ran at a comfortable pace and just kept going, managing to run just under 4 miles.

My plan is to repeat the Stepping Stone runs for another 3 weeks and see how much progress I can make, hopefully improving speed and stamina.

After that my aim is to increase my distance so I can run a 10k. At 59 years old I’m not looking to run further than that, as I want to look after my knees and I think that will give me a level of fitness that I’m happy with. It’s just great to feel like a runner again.

Keep on with your C25K journeys and enjoy taking time out to do something for yourself ❤️

Good morning to you and every well done to you.

Maybe take a run over to Bridge to10K...? Loads of ideas over there to take you forward, and support you...

Thank you. Yes I have joined the Bridge to 10k group. I’ll post less on here now, but just wanted to share the stepping stone runs before I go as they are a great addition to the C25K app. It’s great that after graduating there are lots of options for people to continue their running journey 😀

What terrific news and so great to have a plan for the way forward. I've really enjoyed your take on the Stepping Stone Runs.

They popped up after I had completed the C25K so really haven't used them.

Best of luck and let us know how you get on with your 10K training over on Bridge to 10K...
