Well I’m up to week 9. I know I can’t believe that I’ve made it this far. I’ve had my ups and downs but I’ve stuck to it. I decided to run outside today as I couldn’t be bothered to drive to the gym. It was lovely to get back outside and was a nice change to be stuck in the same place on a treadmill. as some people will remember I started outside then from wk5 I joined the gym. I’ve always tried to complete at least 1 run outside but this was my first since wk7r3 when I decided to run the 30mins So in theory this is my 4th 30 min run. So in just 2 more runs I will of completed the program. 9 weeks ago seems a long time but it really isn’t and you will be surprised how your body adampts to was how week. Anyway onwards and upwards to the end Doug 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️💪👌💪💪💪💪💪💪

👏👏👏 Well done, Doug. Sticking with it really is the key! It is amazing how quickly your body adapts to running, really. I am still improving with each week, and I graduated in Nov 18.

Not long until you have completed the programme (and then the fun really begins!) Happy running. 😀
