W9R3 done!

[arewenotmen]

It's called Couch to 4.5K, yeah? Not disappointed in the least, in fact looking forward to finding the last 500m in the coming weeks. Could barely do the 60 secs run bits in W1! It really does make you realise you can do anything you put your mind to - very empowering. Fantastic the app is backed up by such a welcoming and supportive community here too.

Brilliant AWNM! Your distance is good and you’ll make up the difference to 5k before you know it! I have more to make up than you (🐌) Fancy a glass of bubbly with me? 🍾😀

Happy running. 🏃‍♂️👊🥂

Well done, good going! I'll bet that extra 500 metres will be with you pretty quickly!

[arewenotmen Graduate in reply to Jundal]

Thanks Jundal, really appreciate that. They feel a long way off at the moment, didn't have much left in the tank at the end of this morning's run! Great to have another goal though.

[Berksrover Graduate]

Congratulations, a great achievement and as you say the extra 500m will come in time, enjoy your running now!

[arewenotmen Graduate in reply to Berksrover]

Thanks Berksrover 🙂 Actually quite nice having some more targets to hit after graduating - aiming for 3 miles, then the 5K. Not done a Parkrun yet either so curious to find out if that speeds me up a bit... Thanks for taking the time to reply 👍

[Berksrover Graduate in reply to arewenotmen]

It's a pleasure, glad to see you have some more goals6, some people struggle post graduation with the lack of structure but do your consolidation and then onwards and upwards

[Mayanow]

Congratulations!!

I am sure it is all mind over matter. I too struggled with the 1 min runs and am now on W7, positive that i will graduate!

Good luck on the speed improvement. Give it time and confidence.

[arewenotmen Graduate in reply to Mayanow]

Hi - thank you! Congratulations on W7! You're definitely over the hardest bit now, fewer leaps in length from now on - just keep on pushing on! Look forward to seeing you graduate very son

[Mayanow in reply to arewenotmen]

Yes !!! I am closer to graduation and i cant believe how far i've come!! And how i enjoy it too!

[Hidden]

Yeah you did!!!!

Don't you secretly wonder whatever the heck else you currently don't think you can do that you might be able to in a few months?

[arewenotmen Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! And yes, time to get that pilot's licence/buy unicycle/take up bagpipes!
