W8R1 nailed

Counting down to the final run :) Hard going, again. However, the programme has set me up nicely as never in a million years did I think I would be running, let alone 28 mins! Gotta keep going.

28 times stronger than 7 weeks ago... all that hard work and determination is what got you there, you are just 5 runs away from that podium... and you know you got it. Just one little 2 minute step up and you’re there. Champers on ice... enjoy closing this out.

Well done on getting to W8's 28-minute runs, as you say it is hard going but worth it at the end when you will graduate, not long now until graduate appears alongside your name.

You're right! It's hard but the euphoria of getting through it makes it more than worth it.

Yay Antonioa! Well done!

Am rather dreading a post-holiday pre-work W8R1 tomorrow morning; your example is inspiring me.

Go you!

You’re so close to the finish line now! Just think, your space on the podium is only 5 runs away, along with a shiny new badge! Plenty of incentive there! You’ve done so well, and you’ve got this! 👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks. Judging by a few other posts, the podium needs to be large as there are a few of us knocking on graduation's door!!

All that patience waiting for the injury to heal has paid off. You said you would come back and try again in summer and you were true to your word. Well done Antonio!👍🏼
