Well graduated tonight guys but didn’t finish on a high - was determined to do my wk9 run3 even though I knew I wasn’t feeling my best & had tummy problems last couple of days, I struggled badly & limped home making it just past 3k in the 30 mins .

So I’ve decided to make Sunday’s run2 my graduation day instead when I felt on top of the world & completed 5k in 34 mins- learned a lesson though won’t be running again when not well - definitely not worth it feel as though I’ve injured myself as well as technique was all off due to tiredness..,

Well done on Sundays 'graduation run'. 34 minutes is great!

I consider any day is a good day if i learn something new. This was a good day for you too, you learned something new.

Enjoy your rest, then you can attack the run again

Hi Dbbd, well done for finishing and for graduating! It doesn’t matter how far you got, you ran for 30 minutes and that’s great 😀

We all have good runs and bad runs, but it’s probably a good idea not to run if you’re not feeling well. Let’s hope you haven’t picked up an injury 🤞

For now, rest and relax in the knowledge you’ve achieved greatness! Don’t forget to register as a graduate 🏆🎓 Cheers 🥂

Well done! I agree, no point in pushing through feeling rough - not great in the long run!

Well done! 🏃🏻‍♂️🏅

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Doing it your way! Good on you. Both my earlier W9 runs were better than graduation day. Tired legs and determined to finish at the weekend, for all the right reasons. Just didn't go as well as planned. Everyone has absconded to Ju-Ju's 10k plan, but I'm thinking a decent consolidation is I order, although I'm feeling a little left out 🤨

Never mind, it looks like I have company after all 😁
