I have completed two runs on Stepping Stones… (not literally ) this week , having completed C25K 5 days ago. How many would you suggest before doing the next run on the programme of a Speed Run ? 🏃‍♀️

I have just one more (weekend hopefully) until I graduate! I have no idea about these ones that unlock yet, so would also be interested in any replies.Congratulations.

I am also not on 5k yet, so that would probably be my first goal.

I did one after the other without any ill effects. I actually enjoyed the speed run which surprised me as I wouldn’t associate speed as a natural state for myself😂 hope you enjoy it too.

hello 👋

I’m doing the same with the extra program after C25K. I’ve found listening to Steve Cram absolutely brilliant… I’ve done all three runs twice now. I’m desperately trying to beat my PB of 34 mins for a 5K.

I particularly enjoy the speed runs too! I guess we just keep going , feeling stronger each time.

I’m loving my new running habit and it sounds like you are too! I’m so proud of us all … and the running ‘stuff’ is exciting too! I’ve just got a harness?😂 which makes me feel very professional. Hugs to everyone from me ! 🤩

My PB was 34 mins for 5 K on graduation. I will give a speed run a go tomorrow and as you say keep on going 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done you..... but maybe pop across to Bridge to 10K for some support and great ideas to move you on?
