Congratulations! It’s reading posts like yours from people who have made it that keep those of us struggling through the programme going. Every completed stage is a huge victory but completing W9 must feel amazing. 👍🏻🏆🍺

Congratulations! I was there just a few weeks ago, it feels great doesn’t it? I am now doing 5K BUT it is slooooow! First one came in at 44 minutes, slower than walking! 😂 now at 38/39 minutes. Want to do a Park Run but can’t face being last! Keep running!
