W9r3 done! Officially a graduate!

[Bluesky44]

I’m a few days late finally completing w9r3 due to a cold/cough but so pleased and proud of myself for completing the programme!! At the end of my run I gave a great loud ‘yeah!!’ - good job no one was around, although actually I was on such a high that I would have done it anyway and told anyone I could why! Also well chuffed that final distance was 4.8k so nearly there within 30 mins!

This programme is fantastic - I really don’t think I would have done this alone. I think drinking plenty of water, never skipping a week, realising it’s ok to repeat a run or have extra rest days and getting to know my route really well have been the big things I have learnt that have helped. As well as this forum which is so supportive!!

Thanks all, good luck on your running journeys!!

Huge congrats ! It's amazing what a difference water makes, isn't it !

[Bluesky44 Graduate in reply to backintime]

So much of a difference! Still get heavy legs between 20-25 mins which then eases again but much better when I’ve had enough water!

Congratulations! While pace doesn’t matter, you were slightly faster than me on that run, I think my best was 4.75 on the plan! Celebrate your achievement well, enjoy consolidation and all your future running adventures
