I did it!

Week 9 Run 3!

Can’t believe I can run for half an hour. So proud. Never saw myself as a runner but I’ve done it. Will work on running for 5k now as I only do 4K in the time!

[Flyingred Graduate]

Congratulations! You're not alone in surprising yourself. I can run further (without stopping) than I ever could when I left school (over 40 years ago).

Don't worry too much about how far you run or how long it takes. The important thing is to keep it steady and progress gently so that you don't do yourself any harm. Remember, you're so much better off running 4k every other day than being on the couch.

[suepiff in reply to Flyingred]

This is true! Slow and steady and feeling proud. Celebrating with wine!

[BarbieW Graduate]

Oh very well done - doesn’t that feel great?

Slow and steady for now.

Do your consolidation runs for a couple weeks before trying to go too fast too quick. I am still over 35 minutes for 5 k and I graduated weeks ago,,,...

[suepiff in reply to BarbieW]

Thank you for that - I think you are right. I don’t think I can run faster but I may be able to run a little bit longer.

Just don't move on to quickly and you will find things start to evolve

[lollytwist Graduate]

Well done Sue, isn’t it a great feeling? I graduated in July and regularly run 5k but I’ve never made it in 30 minutes, the fact that you are running for half an hour is the main thing! Happy running x 🏃‍♀️

[MVBrown Graduate]
