Well hello week 9, we meet at last!

[Saruma]

After 18 weeks of slogging away at this programme, through injury set backs and work and family life just generally getting in the way, I can't believe I am about to enter my graduation week.

Hopefully, by this time next week I will FINALLY be able to call myself a C25k graduate

[Fingalo Graduate]

By this time next week I intend to be heading your way within the month, I just need to get that first 20 minuter under my belt.

Well done Saruma, it's a great achievement.

Thank you Fingalo. I have done the dreaded w5r3 twice now on my c25k journey - it is a huge milestone in the programme and the sense of achievement from completing it successfully is immense. Good luck for next week

That's great, you're nearly there!! Enjoy your final 3 runs. Have you considered what you might do next?

[Saruma Graduate in reply to Esprit]

My longer term goal is to enter the Great Yorkshire Run (10k) which is at the end of Sept. in the short term though, I want to consolidate the 5k as I am still a fair few minutes from running it in 30 mins. I do need to thoroughly investigate the different 'post grad' podcasts available as I am currently very confused by them all!
