Week 6 done an dusted

[Labshack]

Have been into Reading today to have a gait analysis and buy some running shoes. Ended up buying 2 pairs some on road and some off road. Then wandered around for a further 3 hours (so 4 in total) before going home to go for W6R3 running for 25mins none stop (in my new off road shoes). Apparently I'm officially a runner

Oh some nice new running trainers, I'm so glad I did my gait analysis too. Couldn't imagine running without mine now. Well done on completing W6 yipppeee. W7 isn't to bad either. Onwards and upwards

Another runner on the team. Mega congrats xx

Excellent think I need some good footwear too. I'm using old trainers with very flat hard soles. I'm new to running and w3r3 but my knees really hurt for 2 days after a run. Thinks these trainers are not helping 45yrs

Hi Labshack - yes you are officially a runner now cos Laura says so! It's such a great feeling isn't it? Congratulations on getting this far - nearly there now

Thanks Atomic, I am now an official runner :), although my first 5 minutes running was difficult. I slowed myself down and released that I was just scared of the long run but It didn't beat me. Good luck for Week 7!

Feels great doesn't it?
