Great stuff. Isn't it good, being a runner?

Way to push on! It's amazing when you look back at W1R1 isn't it??

It's unbelievable, in fact. How have I come this far in only 9 weeks?

Perfect! I graduated at Parkrun last Saturday.

Thanks for that tip! That is the trouble, we drink, then even when we don't need to wee,meets like we do. Will make sure I am prepared. Well done for your parkrun, I am frightened, know I can do it but it is a first for me, just going to go slow and steady 😏

Slow and steady is the way. I managed 3.7k in my 30minute timeframe, but actually found that I was able to run most of of the remainder. Very pleased with myself!

Yesss! Well done! That little voice has got a truck load of surprises in store for you, keep running

Most people would be worried about little voices... but not me - I welcome them!

Sorry to be a bit 'doh' but if 3.9k is the furthest you've run before how did you graduate? Do we not achieve 5K at the end of graduation? Now I'm really confused!!!

RhedwrGraduate in reply to Hidden

No, we aim to complete 3 x 30 minute non-stop runs in Week 9. Some people do manage 5k in 30 minutes, and some, like me, are a bit slower and need a few more runs after graduation to complete 5k in the timeframe.
