How exciting!! I loved W9 - bit of a niggly bodyor me, but that's probably an age thing 🤔 Be sure to stretch, stretch, stretch 🤗

Thanks and will do! Yep found out stretching is even more important now. Good luck with your continued running journey. 😊

[Runningroni Graduate]

Well done you. Been away for 2 weeks +

Tried to run on holiday but not successful . Managed about a mile but 31 degrees and humid. Done better at home but as had a week no proper running 25 mins first run, today blooming ap went crazy, felt it was a really good run but it told me did a mile in 14 mins. I know I ran for 35mins.

Are you going for more than 5k.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Runningroni]

Hi Runningroni great to hear from you, thank you and hope your holiday was good! I'm trying not to get hung up on distance -or speed for that matter as since Graduation I've noticed how sloooooowly I must have been going. Currently repeating W9 30minute runs for as long as necessary - finding it a real struggle to break through that mental barrier again - and have given in to the gremlins a couple of times now 😫 Still wondering how long it will be until I actually enjoy running 🤔
