As I blogged the other day you know that I completed the c25k programme but today noticed that I now have my badge on here , so it seems more real :). Did my first post grad run today with the running club and a friend ran it with me. Without realising it at the time, I was running at a much faster pace but was exhausted when we got to the end. Think it's given me a kick up the bum to up my game, so thanks phil lol.

Have you found that since running your stamina has increased swimmingwise? (is that even a word?!). I can now swim for 30 mins at the fastest I can go and not feel at all exhausted although my arms feel it the next day. Congratulations on graduating by the way :D

My stamina has increased, especially with front crawl, I can keep that going for longer, but swimming was my thing when I was younger. Who'd have I'd even be doing this running !!! Lol :)
