C25k Graduate - Woo hoo!!!
Guys, I can't believe it Week 9 has been a rush.
All 3 runs in Week 9 were set for 30 min runs with no breaks.
Wk9R1 was hard. I don't know what happened but from the start until the end I just felt like quitting. There wasn't any stage where my breathing came together and I could relax and enjoy. Maybe it was the drop in temperature or Laura/Claire only giving 10 min warnings or a combination of the two!
Wk9R2 was tremendous. The guys over on the HealthUnlocked C25K forum lifted my spirits and to be honest the run couldn't be worse or as bad as Wk9R1, could it?!
Wk9R3: well, this is what it was all about, eh, and finally got there. Instead of waiting for the 9am Bedford Park Run as I initially planned, I started just after 8am. The run felt tremendous. My Garmin watch was helping where Laura/Claire was giving minimal notifications. When I hit 30 mins I decided to carry on and try and hit the 5k. Result: did it just under 40 mins.
Elated!
That was Saturday and 2 days later I feel good and ready to start a new programme. Active 5k to 10k looks like a go-er. B210K had some fairly bad reviews. 10k Pink looked like a starting programme for people who haven't done anything like C25K.
Onwards and upwards. 9 weeks ago I could barely run for a minute, now 30+ is the standard!
