First solo flight! 😱

I’ve just been out on my first post-graduation run and decided to be brave and ditch the app. It felt really strange not to have Sarah Millican telling me how well I was doing ‘pet’. It was liberating in a way though and I feel like a grown up!! I’ll be tying my own shoelaces next!

Enjoy your weekend running for those of you heading out over the next few days xx

How did it go Beth? I had Sarah too she's sadly missed 😉

It was good, although I’ll need to watch my pace I think- according to Strava I was much faster than W9R3 so just want to be careful I don’t do too much too soon and undo all the hard work.

How’s your running going?

I think you’re right 😂. Park run sounds like a lovely idea. I’m going to do one in a couple of weeks I think. Enjoy!

We were 4 but last last week 😊😉😂but I'm very sure the final 4 were the marshalls as there was no one behind us only marshalls 😂they just tried to let us feel good for not coming last 😉😊😁

Congratulations on graduating and running your first consideration, should that not be consolidation run, feels good, I am still on week 8, I run the second 28 minute run tomorrow. Yes, you should do your park run tomorrow with your son, I am sure both of you will enjoy that.

Just come back from R2 of week 8, it went brilliant, my app told me that I had ran it in 8 seconds, (jet propelled) and I used 8 calories, of course that was rubbish, I deleted it from my phone and have installed another app for my third week run 3 28 minutes on Monday.

Ive graduated today, and Sarah has been my guide throughout too. Almost tempted to have another go at 30 mins with another ‘trainer’, just to see how supportive they are!

Great post Beth, that made me laugh... how are the shoelaces coming along? :)

Yeah, I ended my 8-week relationship with Jo Whiley last week, and now only have the boring Strava bloke with me on runs. He’s not very encouraging though, he just pipes up every now and again to tell me I’ve done another km, and exactly how slow I’m running!

😂😂😂 Do you have to pay for the premium app to get the boring bloke or does he come for free?
