Go Paula! 5 runs to grad and you’ve nailed that one.

Well done! However tired you feel after doing a 'week', you are fully prepared for the next one. Not long to go now, see you on the podium 😀🏃‍♀️👏

Well done you! You’re very close to the podium and shiny badge now! What’s good about W8 is that the jump up isn’t much from W7, and now you’ve done R1 anyway you know you can complete the next two runs! Then just W9 - two more little extra minutes. Simples!

Have fun and good luck! 🏃‍♀️😀👍🏻

Thanks... not sure I want the structure to end enjoying the programme so much... even though it’s tough at times

I feel the same way! I’m starting W9 tomorrow and I know I’m really going to miss the weekly goals and the little icons on the app to check off my progress!

I’ll miss MJ too. It’s a fabulous programme and I loved (almost) every minute!

Good luck with the remainder of your runs - you’ll smash it and will soon be on that podium! 🏃‍♀️👍🏻🙌😀
