Done it. 👍🏻 Back to my familiar home route, and boy was it humid? Still, I’m mighty relieved that it was a far more comfortable 28 minutes than R2 on Wednesday, and I really enjoyed it. 😀 Still ended up like a 🍅, but I guess that’s just me!
My breathing isn’t always totally rhythmical, but it doesn’t bother me (it did during R2, but that run was gremlin-filled). I’m sure I could move up a pace to express snail, but I’m going to save that until after I’ve graduated (can’t believe it’s so close now!)
Sooooo, let’s be having you W9. See you on Monday! 😆 👍🏻🏃♀️🐌💪🏻🤞❤️
Have fabulous weekends you lovely runners, whether you’re running, resting or polishing your new graduation badges ..... 😀😀

Woop woop!! You're going to rock W9 in style......doesn't matter what pace, all that matters is you'll soon be on that podium....reflecting on how much you've achieved!!!!
Ooo thanks, I can’t wait, Hotheels! 😆 I’m going to miss this programme as it’s been so effective, and whenever you have a doubt about upping the minutes, your body is ready! Clever!
Yes back to hot Blighty. I really wouldn’t have minded 16 degrees, grey and drizzle!!
Thank you Beanjo. Isn’t it exciting? What day do you anticipate ‘the day’ to be? I’m thinking Friday in my case. I’m very excited but also a little sad because it’s been so much fun. I’ll definitely miss MJ!
I think mine will have to be Saturday as Friday is a grandma day for me. I know what you mean about a little bit sad though - I’m hoping I can find some sort of structure when I continue to run. But yes- soooo excited
Best of luck to you. You’ll be amazing and you’ll deserve your place on the podium. 👊🏃♀️
I’m personally going to see how long it takes me to eventually reach 5k in 30 minutes (I foresee a loooong time at my 🐌🐌 pace), and then try the 10k one - but crikey that sounds scary to me! 😮
Waaaaaaa, I’m ridulously excited Flara! It’s incredible how the programme gets you to this stage isn’t it? I used to dread the jump up from 60-90 seconds! 😅
Anyway, thank you so much for your encouragement. This forum is brill and so friendly!
Hope your run goes well Jundal! You’re going to smash it! I think there might be a crowded podium coming up. Hope there are enough badges to go round! 😅
Hahaha, it’s true isn’t it? 😅 I’m sure the breathing will become natural one day, Crawlhome! Mine isn’t too bad, but I definitely don’t do 4 breaths in and 4 breaths out regularly. I’ve tried - doesn’t work!! 🏃♀️🐌😅
You're going to love week 9 - it's just 2 extra minutes and you're 100% prepared for it. I had an absolute blast with it and enjoyed every single second. Go cheekychipmunks !
Thank you Mike! Yes it doesn’t seem much longer, but I’m sure those 2 minutes will seem like an eternity! Absolutely can’t wait to get stuck in on Monday! 👍🏻🏃♀️🐌
Thanks cheeseheads! It’s getting close now! Can’t believe I’m wishing Monday would hurry up and arrive! 😳
No snails or turtles will be in your way, don’t worry. You’ll sail through R3 and then W9 will be ready for you! Let’s get to that podium! 👊😀🏃♀️🏃♂️👍🏻
Good luck for the week ahead! I'll be starting wk9 with you tomorrow, although I may save the last run for Saturday morning, see you on the podium fellow runner! 🏃♀️🏃♀️☀️😀
