They say slow and steady wins the race. I'm happy you've completed the programme. It's better to do it slowly than do yourself an injury.

Fantastic news! I'm nearly there! Any tips for the last week?

For me, I never gave myself permission to stop, so once I set out of the door that's it, I was going to finish it, even if my legs had turned to jelly. That's my mind set, but I could never manage more than 2 runs a week. Good luck you will be there soon😌

I was literally about to walk out the door to run week 8 run 3 and I remembered you jelly legs comment. Pleased to say I finished it and so now I'm moving on to week nine! Not long now x
