Can’t believe I’m about to start week 9!

[GirlOnTheRun]

So next week marks the start of week 9. I genuinely can’t believe it! It’s said on here all the time, but this is such a good programme.

I’ll miss Sarah - she’s so chipper and always nice, even if I’m finding it really tough. I never run with music so I’m not sure what I’ll do after next week - perhaps go headphone free and just check my watch for time.

I’m really hoping that I’ll continue to run without the programme, I’ve loved it so much - I plan to slowly approach bridge to 10k whilst branching more into trail running. But will spend a few weeks making sure I’m comfortable with 5k. I’ve also signed up to start rowing this month (slidey seat, toppling in rowing!) so hopefully that will also continue to help improve my breathing - the folk at the club looked SO FIT AND HEALTHY. Maybe one day that’ll be me

Stupendous effort - do enjoy week 9 I’ve found it flew by. I’m now into my first week of consolidating. I’m taking it slow and steady. So much too learn about running. Well done and happy rowing.

Brilliant GOTR! You’ll smash W9, so take time to enjoy it. Let us know when you’ve graduated and we’ll be here to shower you with bubbles! 🍾🍾🍾

You’ll love rowing. My husband has been doing it for 30+ years, and at 57 he’s still very fit (which is precisely why I won’t run with him! 😅)

Great job. I don’t know what I’d do without a distraction in my ears... and Sarah will be missed by me too... maybe we should invite her for a run?

Enjoy this last week and also getting into running.

Enjoy week 9. Savour the 3 runs. You have worked hard to get here. Well done

Enjoy your final week and rowing! Running with music is really nice - you should try it. Also get one of the running Apps like mapyourrun - it will keep you informed of your speed/splits whilst you are running which will motivate you to keep on improving. Enjoy!
