Week 9 2 down, 1 to go 😱

I think the title says it all.... Genuinely didn’t think I’d get this far but here I am! Actually looking forward to the graduation run on Thursday, but also feel slightly sad. I know it’s not the end and I plan to have Michael talk to me for a few weeks as I do consolidation runs but even so feel a little bereft, not really sure why!

Although I didn’t personally feel like this, I’ve read that lots of people do. I think it’s cos we feel cocooned in our 9 wk plan and nice and safe😁

I also think part of it is that we don’t feel we can do it (run) without the voices in our ears😁

Enjoy your graduation run and then just think of your next three 30 minutes as W10’s

Good luck 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

You’ve nailed... cocooned and safe and the fact that I will miss the dulcet tones of Michael Johnson telling me “ you’ve got this”

I'm also set to graduate on Thursday and feel exactly like this too! My next challenge will be the progression from the safety of my treadmill to the outside world 😱 Good luck to you and have a great graduation week!

You too rollyrol, the outside world is fab! Hopefully when you get out there the wind will always be at your back (headwinds and crosswinds are definitely not fun... but “what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger” ) 🤪

True! Oh and I will always plan my route to have the wind at my back 😋
