Well I didn’t think I would make it to the end but yesterday I ran for 30 minuets... and enjoyed it!

Like most people I’m not doing 5k just yet but that will come in time.

I’ve decided that, the key to a happy, enjoyable run is the right music 🎧 🎶 it helps me to find my pace and forget about what aches 🏃🏼‍♀️😂

Thanks, I didn’t think I would make it past week 3.... I was so unfit when i started. Trust the program, it really works 😊

Yay, well done Emma! Only 2 more runs until you’re up on that podium polishing your new badge! And bearing in mind it’s just 2 more runs of the same distance ........ you’re virtually there! 🙌🙌🙌

Have fun, and keep us posted! Love hearing people’s graduation stories! And pics too. 🏃‍♀️👏👏😀😀

😁 that’s what I thought too... just have to do it 3 times to prove it wasn’t a fluke 😂

I’m really going to miss Sarah!

Well done EmmaA-F, it seems you can indeed run 30 minutes. I have my 25minute run later today. Really excited to see how far I’ve come like you said trust the programme.🙂👍🏽

Well done! I’m at the same stage as you and quite look forward to the runs although they haven’t all been easy. What will we do with only 2 more runs left? I’m missing Jo already 😆

I’m not ready for the bridge, going to keep running the same route and aim to get faster. Also going to do a park run 😊

Well done, very inspirational.

I'm on audiobooks rather than music; I tend to get swept up in the plot (Captain Jack Aubrey missing Stephen Maturin terribly on board the Lively) and the time just flies past.

Thank you.

I like the idea of books but the beat keeps my pace 😁
