What now?

[Shastu]

Wk9 run3 complete yesterday. Very satisfying but very tough! What now? Do I just keep repeating W9 until I get to 5k (managed 4.45 and pace 8.54)

You consolidate for about a month now - so just keep doing 3x 30 mins a week. During that time, have a think about what/where you want to go with your running - this is just the beginning. The running world is your oyster.

Consider looking at the three excellent supplementary C25K+ podcasts: Speed, Stamina and Stepping Stones.

Maybe join/post in September's Consolidation Club post: healthunlocked.com/couchto5...... (look out for October's).

Folks generally go 2 ways.... either wanting to get quicker over 5k or wanting to go longer distance... If the latter, there's always Ju-Ju's Magic 10k plan. Have a looked at our Pinned Posts section.

Many congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.
