W9R3 in the bag now . Was going early morning as usual but what with rain and plumbers coming left it till this evening . Not the best idea as ran after dinner on a full stomach but I managed to get through it although more beetroot faced than ever. Shall continue running now and try to get to 5k in 30 mins barely doing 4k at moment. Yippee I've decided I like running.

Go for it am sure you are to graduate too. Then its building up to do that 5k in 30mins over the next few weeks by gradually adding to what we have acheived

Must say it was not my finest hour (30mins) I felt like I had swallowed a lead balloon . it will be back to early mornings now with only a cuppa on board.

Congratulations on finishing, and good luck with your next goal!

I can identify - I graduated this week too, not yet up to the 5k mark, and also suffer from beetroot face - it's a great look!!

Excellent. It’s a great achievement. I’ve got W9R3 to do either today or more likely tomorrow when my adductors stop hurting so much. I can’t get past 3.7 - 4.1 km either so was reassured that I’m not the only one. Thanks for encouraging me by putting that. Dreading it cos I find it very boring. But elated with pride that I’m almost done. (It’s taken 15 weeks 😱)

I read adductors as abductors!!! For a second had an image of you being held hostage!!! I’m only in W7R2 but know there no way I’m going to be doing 5k in 30 mins at the end. Good to know I’m not the only one. Well done on getting to the end!!

Think if you read the bumf not many people do end the 9 weeks doing 5k in 30 but slow and steady we will get there after all running for a minute seemed impossible weeks ago and look at us now. Go girl you can graduate and then build on your success.
