Did my final run of the program this morning!!! Mistakenly thought the rain last night might have cooled things down but no, it was like running in a sauna! But did it, and loved it, nonetheless!!! Feeling a little bit directionless now though and trying to figure out what next. May try the speed podcast to improve my time for my Race for Life on 19 July, and maybe just maybe could look at bridge to 10k (worried about having enough time to fit in the longer sessions though! A massive thanks to all the posters on here who have supported me over the last 9 weeks, you are all absolute stars!! 😘😘😘

Thank you!! And yes, it is the BEST feeling!! Have got a park run in my sights, bit nervous that I will look like the token beginner though!!!! Printed off my barcodes and found the nearest one, May need to go for a sneaky practice beforehand (it is permanently signposted) to check it out first!! πŸ˜€
