Last Interval Run

[Zaza0309]

So today will be my last interval run and it feels a bit scary.

I know what you mean - it’s like going from little school to big school - you’re big now so no more playing around - all runs are now 25 minutes or more 😁. Doing my W5R2 Saturday.

W6R2 - not W5R2! I need to do my big school homework!

Haha I keep having to check which run I’m on - big school eh? I was always slightly envious of those who had already got this far in the plan when I started so just going to go for it

Relax... and just move on steadily and slowly.. you will be fine. Each run prepares us for the next one

You’ll not miss them, you’ll be too busy running! Enjoy that last one.

I was the same but I found once I started w7 it was much easier to run without the walking break. But I did have to change my route as I was running out of road on my old route. I’m about to do w9r3 today and I’m feeling a bit sad that it’s over

[Zaza0309 Graduate in reply to Anna675]

Look at it at a new beginning rather than an end

[Hidden in reply to Anna675]

Interesting that you didn’t miss the walking bits after W6 - I hope that’s my experience. Good luck with W9R3 and graduation - you potentially have park runs to look forward to! Someone posted earlier they had run with a running club. The idea of me being even eligible to be a member makes me laugh - it shows the transformational effect of the programme! I suppose graduating from a programme where every run is a big achievement to go into “maintenance” mode may seem the future will be less gratifying - you’ll need to find how to get the same buzz 🤪.

Definitely although the big motivation for me is to try and hit the 5k mark as I’m still a fair way off. I’m consistently hitting the 3.5k during my run but can’t seem to get any quicker. So that’s my aim 😁
