W8R1 - I don't want it to end!

Is it strange that I am now dreading couch to 5k coming to an end? And that I'm viewing today's run as a reward after a day at work? What's happened to me?! I appear to like and actually enjoy running!! Any tips for week 8, please? I can't believe I've got this far and the end is almost in sight!

Just do what you did to get to week 8... slow and steady and you’ll be fine.

It won’t end... C25K is just part one of your journey. Graduation isn’t a finish line, it’s a start line, with many different routes ahead.

Well done, I’ve got W8R2 tomorrow morning and like you I’m enjoying it but thinking what happens when it’s over.... can’t believe we’ve made it to week 8 when I recall week 1 being horrendous at the time x

Oh my goodness, I was purple in the face in week 1! It was not a pretty look!
