I did it yay!!

[Ang62]

I can hardly believe it but I actually completed W9R3 early this morning (before the heat set in)!! So make room for me up there on the podium guys!🍾🥇🏆

I felt a bit groggy first off so took it quite slowly at first then picked up a bit in the second half. My distance was only 4.5k (on Strava) so can’t say that I have completed 5k yet but I am very happy to have completed the programme! I am planning now to keep repeating W9 until I get to 5k and also have a go at parkrun. Thanks to all on this forum for your amazing support and advice- I really couldn’t have done it without you 😊 I did it!!! 😊😊😊

Nope - next week hopefully - I can only really run after work and it’s just not cooling down at all here in the evenings - 30 degrees on my way home yesterday - so I’ll head out to start w9 Saturday am - think next week is a positively cool 24 😂
