Men Cry Too!

[DorsetRunner]

Did W9R3 this morning and even pulled it in at 5K.

Promptly burst into tears - of joy I think!

Thanks to everyone on this forum for their support and guidance!

Here are my week 9 runs.

That's brilliant DorsetRunner, I am so pleased for you 😁

Thank you so much!

Congratulations! Wow, 6 minute km pace is very fast for this stage. I’d cry too I think! Good work, and it’s celebration time 🍺🍺

Enjoy your next running adventure.

No wonder my eyeballs were out on stalks! Although sometimes it felt like I was not even moving!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to DorsetRunner]

When you’re in the zone that can happen, it’s so effortless that it’s almost not happening.

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Never thought of it like that - thanks for pointing that out. 👍

Woohoo 😃👍💪🏃‍♂️🏅🍻

Well done! Many congratulations 👏

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thank you 🙏

Great stuff well done. If I clock 6k per min I'll cry, 'cause the tech's gone wrong again.

Have a well deserved glass, and slice of something naughty!

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to sparkyjohn]

Thank you! I only tracked my week 9 runs so had no idea of how far I was getting in the time, or what a good time actually was. I just ran at a speed that felt ok and the average turned out to be 1km in 6 mins! Assuming the tech is accurate of course! 😂

[sparkyjohn Graduate in reply to DorsetRunner]

It should be fairly close. I'd take it as right and use it as a benchmark for the coming weeks.

Ahhhh fantastic! Congratulations 🤩 I’ve got my W9R3 tonight 😬

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to MrsT0707]

Thank you and go smash your W9R3 tonight!

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to MrsT0707]

Thank you and go smash your W9R3 tonight!

Top effort sir! That's a fantastic achievement and at a fair lick too! Good luck with your future running, it's addictive!

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to lardofale]

Thank you so much

[Matilda2903 Graduate]

Brilliant, well done you! No shame in shedding a few tears, male or female it's a pretty incredible journey and I know I'll have a good bawl when I finish, I was bad enough when I ran for 20 minutes 😂

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to Matilda2903]

Ah, bless you! Thanks for your uplifting comments and keep with it yourself.

[Gingernutter Graduate]

You are awesome DorsetRunner!! Glad to hear I'm the only one who cries on the milestone runs. Fingers crossed 🤞 I will run W9R3 tomorrow morning I know I'll be sobbing..😂😂

[Wimborne]

Wow that’s super speed 👏. Big congrats to you. Please humour me by saying you have really really long legs 😀.

[DorsetRunner Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Well I'm 6ft tall so not massively long legs, and it was not till I really looked at it that I thought I have probably been running too fast all of this time! So I have actually slowed it down a little - for the sake of my aged limbs!!

Fabulous work DorsetRunner ! 🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the best for the next stage of your journey, whatever that may be x
