A little longer than 9 weeks ( more like 11) but did the last run this morning!! It was going so well I also decided to extend it by 7 minutes to do the full 5k!! I'm so pleased with myself of and now planning to do my first Park Run in the New Year and see if I can reduce the time! Can I have my badge please?

Congratulations, what a great end to the year! πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ˜€πŸΈπŸΈ

Well done ! Even doing extra 7 minutes ! Sometimes you just feel good and should put you in good stead should you plan to extend your times. You sound like you need a challenge. Park runs are great . I've only done one (have to work Saturdays so will only do occasionally).

I do 6K+ now and aim to extend my times to build up stamina then after plan to increase my speed a bit and experiment with the podcasts. Even trying core exercises. all makes it interesting. Main thing is the sense of achievement and great fitness and well being. Also now is a good habit that can't give up.

No doubt you will have a cunning plan on what you want to do next. If not you will find plenty of ideas from others here.

No doubt you will be wearing your best cheesy grin all day now !
