Well I did it

[RachaelL]

I am so proud of myself. I went from not being able to run 100m to running a 5k. Not quite the 30 minutes that C25k suggests but I’m no spring chicken! Thanks to everyone in this community, you are great and inspirational. I’m now deciding what to do next. Maybe 10K. The idea is daunting but so was running for 30 minutes 9 weeks ago.

As for what to do next, it would be advised that you have a consolidation period before increasing either time or distance .

Thank you! That’s good advice and I will do as you suggested.

Superb! 37 mins is very respectable! Congratulations! Enjoy your new ability, it will literally take you places! 👍🏻😁

Congratulations. Good feeling isn't it. I too can't do 5k in 30 mins, and have yet to get to 5k. Maybe thats the next challenge?

Crikey, now that’s a challenge! I will certainly look to improve my timings. 😀
