I passed the 5K point!

It’s including the warm up and cool down walks, but I couldn’t care less. It’s +5K!

And I’m not even graduated!!!

Omg my favourite thing ever is the ParkRun ❤️

I’d love to do more of them, but they’re just too far away. 😢

Tasha99Graduate in reply toTjar

Where are you? 😔

Tjar profile image
Tjar in reply toTasha99

Nijmegen (Holland), so my closest parkruns are in Germany, as of December 2017. My home run is Worthing though. I try to visit that area in England as often as I can. Counting down the days to the next visit this month!

Oooh you should start one in Holland!

Tjar profile image
Tjar in reply toTasha99

I messaged parkrun already! Got a few people here, including the running shop, that are interested as well. But sadly no plans from HQ to start in Holland. So I hoping Germany start one closer by, since I’m 10 minutes away from the border 😂

I thought it was up to the public to start them up?

Tjar in reply toTasha99

Nope. Sadly not. But I’m patient, I’ll wait. It’s worth the wait!

Congratulations on the work so far! Just take it slow and steady and you’ll graduate with flying colours. 😀👍

Good luck with the rest of the programme! 🙂👏👏

Tjar in reply toDavid_G

Coming from a graduate, that means a lot. Thank you David! 🌷Currently looking forward to big school, very excited about that one! Sadly no similar app from NHS for that. Love the encouragement from Michael Johnson. Any tips for apps/podcasts?

David_G profile image
David_G in reply toTjar

Hi Tjar, there are podcasts on NHS choices you might find useful, covering speed and stamina etc. 🙂 Sadly, I’m not a tech person so don’t know how to attach a link. Sorry! 🙁 Good luck, let us know how you get on. 👍

No worries, I’ll look them up! I’ll keep posting here!

Tjar in reply toRipcurlrana71

Brilliant! 🌷Love Strava, although I’m quite boring on there, as I’m doing C25K on a treadmill atm. Will transfer to outside, after graduating. Will follow back!

Hence the treadmill. Bars on the side, so I don’t fall over!

Getting this all wrong. I went out for w8r1 on Wednesday morning and I didn't lift my foot high enough and clipped the kerb. Boom, over one goes and a few days off to recover, doh, 😀.
