only gone and done it๐Ÿ˜Š....... W9 r3 5 k in 32.5 sec

I like many other people who have graduated will have said when I started I did not think I would complete it. But complete it I did without any hiccups or missing days, etc everything went like clockwork .Off course a big thankyou to all of you on this forum for the advice, encouragement and support which is legendary.

Post graduation plan..to carry on with 3 x 5 k for a couple of weeks then gently increase the distance for 1 run per week. And of course I will do a park run

last word of an elated rambling man stick with Laura she will get you there๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Yeay... GRADUATE! Very well done...brilliant run and great time!!!

Sounds like you have a plan there...:) ( When you feel brave enough, take a peek at the big school( Bridge to 10 K) :)

They are so friendly and equally supportive; I ramble on this forum and that one too... so much experience there to aid you on the next lap of your running journey :)
