DID I DO THAT!!

Back home. Red of face, chest heaving, thighs aching heart thumping. Feels good to be alive😃. Only one more session on week nine. Have i really done that?.

I didn’t see, but that post run glow suggests that you did just do that... great job. Love every step of that last week 9 run... as you cross that start line that’s the start of the celebration of all that hard work. Have a wonderful graduation run

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you UFNM,. Not sure if i should just do it or try and push myself a little harder for the last one.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I just enjoyed it... there’s plenty more runs ahead to work on pace, no rush at all. If I was to be running 5k 3 times a week and wanted to push on the 3rd, I’d have run the other 2 deliberately slower already. Don’t worry about a thing... just love that run, it’s emotional at the end... anyone can do this plan, but it’s also not easy, beating it is a big achievement.

You could do a bit of both. I took it pretty easy for the scheduled 30 mins, then decided I had something left and kept on going until 9 minutes later I hit the 5k mark. The euphoria of completing it helped me and I paid for it the next day, but I think it was worth it.

[Hidden in reply to sTrongFuse]

Good advice. I might keep going till i hit the 5k mk

Good luck for your graduation run, just take it slowly, no need to worry about time, once you have completed the 30 minute consolidation runs you can increase pace.

[Julia187 Graduate]

You'll be floating round that final run, it's the best feeling in the world. Enjoy every minute!

[Hidden in reply to Julia187]

Not entirely sure about the floating bit, Julia. 😃

[Julia187 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Mark my words you'll be on Cloud 9!

[Hidden in reply to Julia187]

I'll get back to you o that.👌

[Debston Graduate]

Well done you, yes you really did it and as for the graduation run, I would just relax and enjoy every second, maybe plan a really lovely route and if you want to give a little extra at the end then go for it but for God's sake, don't overdo it and end up injuring yourself at this late stage.... 😅

[Hidden in reply to Debston]

Thanks , Debston. Plenty to chew over there. I'm coming down on the side of enjoying it. Maybe even use it as a lap of honour😃

[Debston Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I think you should arrange for a mate or two to clap your finish and perhaps present you with a medal or a trophy! 🏆 I felt like Superwoman when I did mine, even though it was one of my slowest runs because I kept slowing down to take photos... 😅

[Hidden in reply to Debston]

😄, maybe go for a slo mo chariots of fire 🔥 finish.

[Debston Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😂

[TuxCatLady Graduate]

I've got my last run tomorrow too. 😁
