OMG I only went and did it!!! Yippee πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

What a journey this has been πŸ˜‰

Did I enjoy it?? Honestly ...Not all the time

Was it worth the time, dedication, the ups, downs and everything else you feel when you don’t actually believe you can do it???

Absolutely YES!!!

Completing the couch to 30 ( calling it this stops me pushing tooo hard πŸ˜‰) has not only changed my body and eating habits but I have found a new inner confidence that I never thought I had before 😁

Thank you for all your help everyone!! I love this community and couldn’t have done it without you πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations ElizaMai it's a great feeling to tick off week 9 run 3. How about Park Run if you haven't tried it already it's great for meeting new people and keeping track of your run times. Whatever you do, don't stop, I had a couple of months out following an accident and have had to go back and start again, just completed week 4 run 1 and since I know I can get to the end I am enjoying it this time :)

Thank you 😊😊😊 thought about signing up for park runs. Always ran alone with pod so It will be good to try x. Hope you’re on the road to recovery now and glad you’re enjoying the πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ I actually start to enjoy after 5 mins ( always found the 1st 5mins tough!)

Keep going you can definitely do thisπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I graduated a few weeks ago and since then I’ve not run as often but I’ve run further. I’ve found that doing 5 km means I need more recovery time afterwards. But I’ve also discovered that even leaving it 4/5 days doesn’t make you lose fitness. I’ve improved my times slightly each run and felt better.

I don’t need a plan now to motivate me. Just my distance tracker and some music and the community on here.

It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. (Ok, having kids was fab too..)

Yeah it’s right up there though!! Amazing feeling. Yes sometimes I leave 3 days in between, listening to my body has really helped me achieve x
