That's it folks I am a graduate and feel so bloody pleased with myself! It was almost perfect conditions out there for the final run. After the heat we've been running in it did feel quite nice to have slightly cooler conditions, I did push it a little and got a personal best of 4.54k for my 30 minutes! This programme has been wonderful but it is actually this forum that has inspired me and encouraged me to the finish line. I couldn't have done it without you all! Thanks allπŸ†β€

Thank you! I have just requested my graduate badge! Although I have to say I still don't feel like a "runner" Obviously I am absolutely chuffed to bits with how far I've come from week 1 and struggling with 60 seconds to running for 30 minutes and it feeling okay buy I still kind of feel like a fraud! Is this perfectly normal!?!

Wow, well done! I love hearing all the success stories. Hopefully it’ll be me in a few weeks. πŸ˜€

You’re right about today’s conditions. I wasn’t running (off day), but I was out with my dog and wished I was!
