Are we all (coz i know theres a few of us today) ABSOLUTELY BUZZING😁😁😁??!!!!!

OMG, I cant believe i just did that! 45 years old, smoker, so unfit that 6 weeks ago i couldnt even have ran to the bottom of the garden 😂

Nice one! I start week 6 on Monday so it’s nice to hear a success story 👍

[jannyscotland Graduate in reply to telford_mike]

Youll be fine. The first 2 runs are kinda odd. They look easy on paper! Stick with them though because the buzz youll feel on run 3 is amazing 😃 Good luck

Yep I did it today as well, posted details on another thread. Reckon I ran nearly 4k in the 25 minutes and covered almost 1k between the two five minutes walks, so I walked 2 more minutes to make 5k in 37 mins. Pretty pleased with that!

[jannyscotland Graduate in reply to ArthurJG]

Awesome, well done 👊🏻!! I didnt time the walks, but managed 3.48km in the 25 minutes so was pleased with that. Im excited to start W7 tomorrow 🤗

That’s a good pace, not that pace is the focus just now as they keep reminding us but no wonder you’re happy. I had been trying to go a wee bit slower TBH and my pace dropped a bit on runs 1 and 2 of week 6 but I now think that was because I had misplaced my headphones! Found them yesterday and with my music back I speeded up again, odd as I don’t run with my ears but ho hum ... reason I wanted to slow down was to help my breathing but I didn’t have the same issue with that yesterday so maybe it will be OK.

I did it yesterday morning and I’m still buzzing!! Such a great feeling!! It’s so great knowing other people that are at the same point as me - we will all graduate at a similar time which will be really lovely. Good luck with week 7 too - I start that on Monday. Forgot to say - I gave up smoking on Feb 6th!! X

[Jay66UK Graduate]

Really well done. Please quit smoking 😬

[jannyscotland Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Baby steps 😉

[Ramjam66 Graduate]

Well done 😃👍I did run 3 this morning. It’s a great feeling isn’t it. Looking forward to starting W7 on Monday.

[jannyscotland Graduate in reply to Ramjam66]

Well done 👊🏻! The coaches say we’re runners now *eek* 😁

[Ramjam66 Graduate]

Thanks, I think we deserve a t-shirt that’s says we are runners 😂

[jannyscotland Graduate in reply to Ramjam66]

Yes! Lest our tired legs should let us forget 😂
