2 x Graduate 👊🏽 C25k challenge complete ✅

[QuadroVEINia]

No guessing game this week.

Just a thank you for everyone’s support, encouragement and advice over the last 9 weeks to help me get over the line. I genuinely didn’t think I’d be able to do this again being 4 years older, nursing a knee injury and having also undergone a further cardiac procedure since I did this challenge last.

The human body truly is remarkable and what I’ve learnt is we should never give up and always keep believing. I hope my story can help to inspire others even if a little! Thank you again and I hope you enjoy seeing all the landmarks again from the past 8 weeks!

Finally, it’s Eid tomorrow so what a beautiful and timely end to my challenge, so if you are celebrating… I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you Eid Mubarak and if you are not, have a lovely day regardless! 🤲🏽

Feels good doesn't it? But the feeling that I miss is the constant increasing running week after week, with the coach in my ear helping me along. Beyond c25k helps what are your next plans?

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to T2runner]

Yes, does feel good but more relieved to have finished! Next plan to just keep to 1-2 maintenance runs per week and get back to my other activities which I enjoy more but had suspended to concentrate limited energy levels to get through this.

well done Q - the three gladiatorial ladies are going to join you this morning. What a landmark run and challenge you’ve completed. Couldn’t resist that pun. Happy running …

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Good luck. You have all got this. Look forward to hearing how it went later!! 👊🏽

[Jancanrunagain Graduate in reply to QuadroVEINia]

Done we’ve joined the club!

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Congratulations. Brilliant. How was it?

[Jancanrunagain Graduate in reply to QuadroVEINia]

Hard but fair …. And it was dry which was even better

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Well done. What’s next?

[Jancanrunagain Graduate in reply to QuadroVEINia]

Consolidation really I used to love 10km as my most favourite distance but the big thing is to keep at it and not worry about the distance just yet. With the other two ladies graduating on the same run we are a mini running group so will help each other to keep at it. What are you going to do?

[QuadroVEINia Graduate in reply to Jancanrunagain]

Sounds like a plan. Have already exceeded my wildest dream being able to run 5k (given I am a reluctant runner) so I am now going to just stick to 1 or 2 maintenance runs per week. Keeping going will be another achievement in itself. Good you have a group to keep each other motivated.

[Jancanrunagain Graduate in reply to QuadroVEINia]

Good for you maintenance runs are the way to go after the hard win graduation

[Crucat]

Great photos too!

Wising you a beautiful Eid Mubarak
