Well done! Great that you persevered to complete it. Be prepared to be shocked in the weeks to come as you make staggering progress (instead of progress, staggering). You'll be shocked as you run for 20 and then 30 minutes and shocked as you stand on the graduates podium.

The whole thing is shockingly wonderful.

Keep us informed about how you are getting on and come in for inspiration and encouragement if you need it.

Thank you so much. Helps a lot not to feel alone out there😊. Not told the children (adults) what I doing yet! Want to get a bit further on the programme. 2 of them are really into running and want to surprise them! 😊

Well done! As they've said above, this is the hardest run. Slow and steady from now on and you'll be surprising yourself every week, even if there are a few practice runs along the way ☺

Some of us were similarly shocked.. take as long as you like... slow and steady does it :)

Congratulations. I was shocked at how difficult it was too but on a positive note, we did it and hopefully as the days go on, it'll become alittle easier to do the other runs.
