Mixed feelings about completing the programme. Really elated and amazed that I’ve done it but slightly sad that it’s over. Didn’t quite get to 5k but managed 4.5 which I’m pretty happy with. Will do a couple of weeks consolidation runs and see how I go from there. Park run is my next goal 🏃🏻‍♀️

Congratulations!! It feels good doesn’t it? I too was at a loss as to why to do next after I graduated. I lived the structure of the program and actually still do miss it.

I’ve done lots of consolidation runs. Changed routes and tried all sorts of different things to keep me motivated. I have also found the Nike Run Club app really good. You can chose guided runs, so you still have that voice in your ear. The music is nice too. What’s great about it is that you can do short runs, long runs or basically whatever you feel like doing. I love the headspace ones. Give it a try. I have found it brilliant! X

Thank you , that sounds perfect, will give the app a go. Just feel like I need that extra motivation of a voice in my ear every now and then encouraging me on .

You're ready for Park run. There'll be lots of people much slower than you there.
