Uplifting moment

Great little moment this morning on my run not strictly c25k- a lady who I have seen running over the last few weeks was coming to the end of her run as I was coming the other way. I offered a “well done” at which she shouted “25 minutes without stopping YES” and punched the air !! No feeling like it is there

Well done to you Mwj20 and congratulations to the lady who run non stop for 25 minutes, perhaps she had ran, run 3 of week 6 of C25K.

Welcome to the forum.

You don't say where you are in your running journey, but if you are near the beginning then this guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

I did something very similar myself on the treadmill last Sunday 😀

After 5 weeks without a solitary run following Covid then the "super flu", I climbed hesitantly back on to the 'mill expecting the worst and surprised myself by completing a full 30 minutes in one hit 🏃‍♀️

Admittedly I'mmuch slower than before, but I did it and yelled YES at the top of my voice (in an empty gym Imight add!) as I was just so chuffed 🤣👍🤣

Sometimes, those small celebrations just have to done out loud it seems 😁😁😁
