Default Holy Cow! I just ran 4 miles!
Hello, C25K graduate here. I just finished the program with a 3.12 mile run last Tuesday. I ran 2 miles on Thursday and 2 miles on Sunday and figured to make up lost time (mileage?) I would try 4 miles today.

And I did it! Without huffing and I felt good! And I ran it in 49 minutes! How did this happen? This running thing is FINALLY starting to be worth it, lol.

Maybe I'll try 5 miles next week

Thanks for letting me brag.

Woohoo! C25K was a great program that got me running. I most likely would have quit without it, but I didn't really start to enjoy running until the program was over and it became something I wanted to do and not something I HAD to do.

Great job, I usually run for distance not speed. Endurance builds up quick, speed comes with time.
