Thank you! I'm tired, but it was so achievable (mind you, let's see how I feel in the morning!)

Congratulations, that's the hardest step out of the way! Keep it slow and steady and you will amaze yourself on how you progress, you aren't in a race so don't worry about speed just yet.

Thank you - it helped having Michael Johnson encouraging me!

Well done I'm doing my first one tomorrow! Maybe we can support each other? 😃

Absolutely! Please just do it. I do feel enormously pleased with myself. It's hard but because of the walking periods, you will do it. Please please let me know how you get on!

WOW!!!

Welcome to you... :)

This is a great place to be, for support and encouragement...listen to your body, take your rest days and always... slow and steady. That is the way to get to the Graduation Podium and the 30 minute runs injury free and having had fun!

Post successes and set backs.. believe in yourself and trust the programme..it works!!!

Rest up now...job well done :)

Welcome indeed to your new running family.

We will keep you on the straight and narrow, should you be tempted to stray.

We will console and encourage, should it get tough at times.

We will cheer you across the finishing line, onto the podium and out into the big wide world of running.

Enjoy your journey.

Not what you're looking for?
