Another week completed.., one more week until graduation...I'm not the fastest so don't think I will be running 5k by then, but that's my next goal !! I never for one moment thought I'd enjoy running, yet here I am excited to see the finish line next week .... 😊

Fast does not come into it... You are so nearly there.. and still enjoying it... and that is all that matters :)

This is very exciting... and McFitty hopefully, has the party preparations underway!

Take it slow and steady and we will all be waiting on the Finish Line :)

Well done you! :)

You are doing just fine... and will get to the Graduation in one piece... you can have a great time afterwards, building up speed, or distance in the way that you choose.

Many of us, as you know , especially the seasoned Graduates.. advocate taking a steady structured approach to our journeys and that is certainly the track I follow...:)

After Graduation I had so much fun, doing the C25K+ podcasts, and then trying out all sorts of new running strategies and plans.. eventually heading to Bridge to 10K forum and following the Sami Murphy podcasts... Took me while, but I was in no rush.. and I eventually got to 10K :) Slow and steady :)

There is so much out there for us runners :) You will love it :)

Get to graduation, then consolidate some 30 min runs, there's no rush to 5k, build up gradually, maybe try Parkrun...
