Birthday graduation.

Today is my 34th birthday and my present to myself was to graduate from this amazing program. Unbelievable that a couple if months ago I could barely run for a few minutes. Not sure how it happened as I tried interval running with my fiancé last year and never improved. Now I intend to work on my speed and also to try and increase my stamina by running longer; using 10k app so no more Laura :( but my own music :).

Happy birthday and well done! What about trying the 5k+ podcasts to improve speed and stamina. There are only three of them but you do get some advice from Laura and a beat to run to which is very effective. Happy running :)

Happy birthday miche78, well done you. happierswimming has given you the birthday present I was going to give you ;) NHS C25K+ podcasts are well worth having a listen to, Speed is a smashing programme which will do just what it says on the label. Good luck for your next running adventure.

Probably the best birthday present that you could give yourself. I have also recently turned 34 and I feel the best fitness wise that I have in years. Keep going towards the 10k, which is also my next goal and keep us posted on how it goes.
