One run left...

Two runs into Week 9 now. So close.

Quite annoyed with Laura for reminding me that this is only the end of "training". Apparently I am expected to keep on running for half an hour three times a week for ever now.

Bloody hell!

Almost there!!!

[well - you weren't going to stop running once you'd finished were you?! ]

[Lincolnliz Graduate]

Good luck with W9R3! You have got the stepping stones podcasts to look forward to! ( Only joking - I am enjoying trying the 5 k + podcasts)

[Hidden]

Good luck on your graduation run.

I bet you finish with a huge smile.

All the best and enjoy the running

5k+ podcasts? What fresh hell is this?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Fun!!!!

[RunningGeek Graduate]

Well done for getting within touching distance of the end of the programme & your shiny new badge Hasn't the addiction kicked in yet or have you not put it to the test?! Enjoy the final run

Have to say once I graduated in October my only aim was to keep running 3 times a week & am only now looking (sideways) at the stepping stones podcasts with a thought that I might possibly give them a go.

Most important of all, happy running

[Soozz Graduate in reply to RunningGeek]

The 5+ runs are fab, building up stamina and confidence, I really love them.

[Davoda Graduate]

Ha ha ha. 😊 Didn't you hear it's "at least 3 times a week......"! 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Yes..that is the idea..and..you do it for fun!!!

Go for it!!!!!!

[AnneDroid Graduate]

Haha love it! Brilliant post.

[Hidden]

And don't forget you can do more than 30 minutes if you like !!

Something to look forward to for the new year.

I've got to keep on running because I have started to ditch my "Charlie Chaplin Baggy Pants" and buy new "John Travolta- Tight pants".

I am not going down the tip to retrieve my baggy pants.

So no option but to keep on running !

Happy new year ! and happy running !

Oooh. I like the sound of that pant change. 😉 Well done. And great measuring stick.

[Razouski]

😂😂😂😂

You'll love it, really. I actually find I'm looking forward to most of my runs, and feel I'm missing out when I can't fit a run in. I'm sure you'll be hooked soon. 🤓

[McFitty Graduate]

Getting the party stuff ready...

[JoolieB1 Graduate]

It I still totally up to you when you graduate, you will be a "free runner"! Laura will push you out of the nest to fly into the world! Feels very strange, doesn't it? I graduated about a year ago and found the "three times a week" habit kept me going out. The freedom of setting your own goals is very exciting though. I ran for 3 x 30 minutes for a while to recover and then managed a surprise 5k. A year on, I enjoy running which is surprising because it was so hard to graduate!

[orchards Graduate]

Nearly a graduate. You couldn't give it up now
