It's a bit like learning to drive!! Weeks 1-8 are the lessons. Week 9 ends with the driving test at R3 and, assuming a "pass", then after that, the proper learning to drive ("run") starts. It would be so easy to say, "I've done it" and then stop :( The true test will be carrying on thereafter. Hence, the 5k to 10k app and numerous park runs. Bring on W9 :)

The choices after this are almost endless... close this out and you’re right... it’s not a finish line at the end of week 9, it’s another start line. You’re doing great.

Yay Antonio! Well done on the running and on being wise beyond your years. W8R3 tomorrow morning on a(nother) hotel treadmill for me (taking daughter back to Uni in Plymouth).
