W9R3 done

[Debell]

Can't believe I have done it. I ran round Oban bay but hadn't realised it was so uphill to Ganavan Sands! Still not at 5k distance but at 61 I am thrilled to bits. Keep at it everyone the programme WORKS.

Thank you SO much Oldfloss I have benefited from your wisdom and encouragement to others and I do run 'slow and steady' but maybe that's my age

Well done Debell. What a beautiful place to do your graduation run. Hills too - I am impressed. 😃🏃‍♀️☀️🍾🥂🏆🏅

[Janey1xx Graduate]

Well done Debell, it's a while since I visited Oban, such a beautiful place, hope it's not too long before I go again. The programme does indeed work, I wish I had started to run years ago.

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

Keep running, keep smiling.

[Debell Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you I have registered for Parkrun as C25k to show what can be achieved. I think I need to practice for a few weeks before venturing onto the local one in the forestry. I have read lots of your guides and have found them all helpful.

[_SimonT_ Graduate]

Many, many congratulations! Enjoy your running! 🎉🥇

[over61andstilltrying Graduate]

Hi Debell, I have only just seen this post so belated congratulations! 🎓🎉🎉🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I wonder if you are still enjoying the glory up on the podium or whether you have jumped down to run some more. I am also 61 and graduated about 2 weeks ago. All the best for your onward running journey.

[Debell Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thanks 61at I have ran for 30 mins 3 times this week and am determined to keep on with it .....I am toying (with great trepidation) with going to a 5k beginners/improvers evening at the local running club... but just writing it has given me palpitations..... I have emailed to enquire so they know I might turn up BUT .....

[over61andstilltrying Graduate in reply to Debell]

We all need to find how we want to progress. Sometimes, perhaps, we need to try something before we will know. That 5k beginners/improvers evening sounds exciting! All the very best whatever you decide. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ At the moment, I intend to run 30 mins x 3 each week aiming for lovely routes and plan to enter a Parkrun when my C25k running top arrives. I look forward to reading go your progress.
