Just done run 3 of week 8 and can't wait to get to week 9 but unfortunately I may not complete all 3 runs next week due to other commitments but should manage at least 2. Looking forward to graduating although I will still be a way off running 5k as 30 mins at my pace is a fair way off 5k but I'll just carry on building up the distance ready to do a park run with my son and son-in-law when we visit in October

No worries... and 30 minute runs is all it needs:) The 5Ks may follow..or not..but you will be on that podium!

Well done you!

Great work... into that victory lap now. 5k will come, good decision to just let it come later. Enjoy the final week of this.

2 runs left for me - and I've certainly got a way to go (literally!) before reaching 5K in 30 mins...however I AM both proud and slightly amazed that I have managed to run for half an hour for the first time ever. You have much to be proud of yourself for too, and the way I see it is that not having reached 5K yet just gives me something to work towards next : ) Enjoy your parkrun when you make it there.
