Fantastic! And you're practically at the podium - hope to see you there! 😀👍👏

Thanks. I’m one of those who is just Amazed I’ve got here. How’s it going with you?

[JoP61 Graduate in reply to JetsOwner]

Yep - I'm equally amazed at my progress. Just did W9R1 this morning. So we're practically doing this together! x😀

This was 3 weeks ago. How is it going ?

[JoP61 Graduate in reply to JetsOwner]

Hi there! It was going quite well following graduation - I was running 3 times a week, alternating speed and stamina podcasts to improve my speed and distance. However, I managed to do my back in 2 days ago (doing some gardening!), so now I'm on the IC, not even able to walk properly. I hope you and your lovely dog are enjoying the running. x

Morning. Goodness. Terrific on 3 a week. And I did a similar thing - gardening over the last weekend led to a very sore and stiff back !! But not incapacitated. Can you get to a masseuse or Pilates class near you? But you’ll be back soon. I’ve used first SteppingStones podcast. I don’t care for the music but I’m learning about pace and things. I’ll try others later. Did they help you? Keep well.

Something has gone in my back - it happens every so often and I just have to let it mend itself. Bit worried I will lose all my running fitness in the meantime.

I've used all 3 of the C25K+ podcasts - agree the music is terrible! The Stepping Stones one seemed weirdly slow. I've used the other 2 - Speed and Stamina - a few times and found them quite helpful. I've alternated them for a bit of variety. Still have a long way to go to improve my pace and stamina (if/when I recover from the back problem). Good luck with your running. x

Woohoo!! So close! 👏👏👏👍😁

Mend quickly. You won’t lose the fitness you’ve gained. And if you do lose a bit, It will come back quickly I think
