well thats my first 30 minute run, yes it was hard but I did it🐒πŸ’ͺ I am so chuffed I have treated myself to a womens running magazine subscription , my family will be asking who is this woman πŸ˜‚

what I have noticed is my breathing and heart rate is steadier and recovery time much quicker than initial runs early in programmewhen I struggled to run 60 seconds

Just 2 runs now to get me over the graduation line, come on vrbs, race you!

Wow! That's great! The finish line is looming. I'm not racing you though! πŸ˜‚ i will be coming in a few days behind! I even bought my funky Graduation Leggings ready for my last run. I have no intention of ripping them off and throwing them into the air at the moment of graduation though!!!!

Well Done NQR, you Runner You! Deservedly Chuffed!

Good to see you youngsters doing well.

Thirty minutes is thirty minutes and that is what is required.

Slow miles are so much better than No miles. Admin Dept. Please start polishing a badge ready for this competent runner.

Fantastic achievement! The bigger achievement, really, is the improvement in your CV fitness. As I understand it, that's what's going to make a massive difference to your health over the long term.

Yes, not long to graduation now! Then you'll need a new goal... :)

Oooh, there's a women's running magazine? Sounds fancy.

What do you mean, your family is going to ask who that woman is? Are you on the cover page? πŸ˜€

notquiteretired profile image
notquiteretiredGraduate

πŸ˜‚no not on the cover, atleast not yet, who knows where this programme will leadπŸ€”πŸ€£

my family will not associate running and health magazines with me, I only ever seem to buy dogs magazines or gardeningπŸ€“πŸ˜†
