It’s the final countdown!

Well that’s R1 of W9 done. I decided to go a bit slower this time and varied the 2nd half of my route a bit. According to Run keeper my av pace was my fastest yet so not sure how that happened?

At last I felt I could carry on for longer if needed and my breathing was nice and relaxed. I can’t say my feet were ‘kissing ‘ the ground - more like ‘grazing’, guess there’s room for improvement in my final 2 runs.

Thanks for all the wise words and amazing posts that have kept me going so far. And to all those who are following behind, you really can do this if I can.

That’s brilliant- well done! I’m due to do W9R2 tomorrow, and can’t believe how quickly I’ve progressed on the programme! Enjoy your last week and see you at graduation 😊 xx

See you there!

Well done. The speed difference might be a bit to do with being fitter? Or to do with the relaxed breathing?

Whatever, you did it and only have a couple more to go. Enjoy them!
