Wow did it - the whole thing W9R3

Wow, just wow, didn't think I would stick to this, let alone complete the course.

I went to the local country park for my last run, bit of a walk there, but I wanted to try it out.

Haven't hit 5k yet, but it's come in at 4.9k . It wasn't easy but I did it.

So can I carry on posting in here.

Think I'm gonna carry on with the 30min runs till I get 5k in bag. I like the idea of the Brighton 10k run next year...

Anyway

Cheers

Dooze

Congratulations Dooze.... that face says it all really! Can totally appreciate the sheer elation...!

That’s what I did for the first two months after graduating... kept bashing out the 5K’s, chipping away at the times and finally went sub-30:00 this week.

On a 5K > 10K training programme now and already feeling comfortable with how it’s progressing.

Well done.... keep it up!

Congratulations Dooze! 100m more, you can do that any run you like! Hope you’ve been having a great celebration day... consolidation and the path to that 10k will keep you going, enjoy!

Congratulations and very well done👍. I've gone back to listening to week one, and am running the whole time but faster for the 60 second bursts! Try it for fun!? x

Just saw your most recent post and realised I’d missed this do wanted to congratulate you here. What a great photo! I’ve heard the Brighton 10k is a good one: my cousin suggested I travel down and run it with her next year. I might just see you there!!

Oh my, well done you. I have W9R3 to do at the weekend and aiming to make it a parkrun event. Like you, not sure I've actually quite hit 5k yet but must be pretty close. Let's hope it's raining!! Keep running and again well done.
