Got to week 5 then sustained a tear in my abductor muscle, stopped me running for 2 months, back on the case now, just going out on R2 W9 looking forward to completing the last run later in the week

Well done, you are nearly there! It sounds as though it has been a long hard journey for you and I totally sympathise as I tore a calf muscle at week 8 of the programme the first time round and did not complete the programme until 6 months later! So frustrating, but like you, I returned to running and that graduation run felt SO special, as I am sure yours will.🙂 Just over a year on from graduation, I have gone from strength to strength and took part in the Great South Run (10 miles) a few weeks ago. So lots of luck and well done for sticking with it, running really is a change for life and injury will come to most at one point or another. I learned a lot about how to listen to my body following that injury and feel I am much wiser for it!🙂
