graduate...again???

ok, so last week I graduated as Laura said, ie I ran for 30 minutes (actually longer). however, as the title of the course says 5k and I had run just under. So, 5k is what I aimed for this weekend, and did it yesterday, in just under 44 minutes. still amazed this is how far I've come. the next challenge is to up the pace a little, then head for 10k local run next summer.

Thirty minutes of running is an astonishing achievement when you think about it, especially as most of us really have come no minutes and watching telly! Well done!

You right there that describes me exactly before this programme!! So glad I started it! This forum is amazing such great support😊x

Well done! That's brilliant! I graduated not having managed 5k but going out this morning with my husband running our local Parkrun route to see if I can extend my time and distance a bit and maybe, just maybe, manage 5k. I've been promised brunch in the rather nice cafe there if I do it...
