I graduated...

...and I almost didn't notice! So yesterday morning, staying with Boyfriends family I decided I was going to sneak out for a run - it's a farm and he and his Dad were working hard so I felt a bit guilty being indulgent and doing something "for me"! I found a level playing field and chugged out the 30 minutes!

Then realised that was Week 9 run 3 so I have effectively "graduated" from C25k - EXCEPT I am so so far from 5k...

Current plan is to start on week 1 again but jog/ sprint (trundle/ run faster) on the walk/ run intervals to get myself going a bit faster!

Slightly daunted as that might be harder than it sounds!

Anyway - thanks everyone for all your encouragement over these past few weeks! I will def still be around!

Good Luck!

That's brilliant well done! I'm due to graduate on Friday and I'm planning on repeating week 9 for the two weeks after just to build more stamina and hopefully after that the new podcasts will be out, but if not then I'm going to be doing the same as you, go back to week 1 but jog/sprint as I'm still quite slow.

Congratulations!!!

Hi Clearly!

Well done on graduating! I have just graduated too and am planning on starting from week 7 again to help me with those long runs but I might just alternate those with your week 1 jog/jog a bit faster suggested - just to spice things up!

Well done on graduating! It's lovely to hear your next plan; what you do from here on can be tailor made to you! You will get fitter and stronger with each run :)

Congratulations on graduating :) :) Since graduating have been concentrating on doing 30 mins or slightly longer but tomorrow I plan to do w1 like you with sprint / jog. Or more realistically slightly faster / jog. I'm kind of dreading it...the fear is creeping in lol
