Still running

[Khobarrunner]

Hello it’s been a few weeks since I graduated and since I last posted. Since graduation I have continued to run every second day gradually increasing the time of each run. I just completed my longest run yet, 50minutes of running!

While my pace is not great the fact that I can now run for a full 50minutes is huge. When I think back to early September and running for 3 minutes was almost impossible for me.

It is amazing what this program has done for me. Thank you again to everyone involved with this. Oh and Laura, I still use you for the first 30mins of my runs, wouldn’t be the same without you.

Well done Khobarrunner on running non stop for 50 minutes, that will be about 7 kilometers you will have ran if your pace as you say is "not great" nevertheless it's a wonderful achievement. 😊 🏃. If you want to know exactly what your pace and duration is you should install an app such as Strava or the app I use Mapmyrun.

I ran for 50 minutes last night and covered 5k - Mind you, I was overtaken by someone who was walking 🙄

This is great, very inspiring. I want to do this too!

[Khobarrunner Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

I’m sure you will manage, keep going. If I can do it anyone can.

Great job Khobarrunner!

50 mins wow 👍😀, well done.

I hope I'll be able to do the same over time. Was planning to get out this morning but exhausted due to work.

Day off tomorrow though so...... 👟🏃‍♀️

Enjoy the rest of your running journey and have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2019

Nice progression... very well done getting to 50!

[Janfran Graduate]

That's great! I'm a newish graduate too, but haven't run beyond 30 minutes yet. Aspiring to run the full 5k at some stage, but am waiting for the New Year - then, Park Run here I come. Have you done park runs too?

[Khobarrunner Graduate in reply to Janfran]

No park runs. I live in Saudi and they are not available. Trying to work up the courage to sign up for some of the runs available in Bahrain or UAE in 2019

[Janfran Graduate in reply to Khobarrunner]

Good luck. You're doing so well on your own anyway.
