Haven’t posted in a while. Not because I haven’t ran or haven’t tried but the stupid app keeps freezing after I’ve typed the post and then later go back to find it has disappeared and can’t be bothered to try again. 🤬

Anyway, am amazed to say that I’m almost there and confident that I will graduate very soon. 8 weeks ago I wasn’t even confident that I could complete week 1 so am immensely proud of how far I’ve come. It’s not been easy, I haven’t always enjoyed the actual running but the sense of achievement and improvement in my mood has been so gratifying.

Never ever thought I would get this far or stick at it but I have. Anyone starting out, listen to the people on here as they are right, the plan works if you follow it, run as slow as you need to and you will get there. If I can I firmly believe anyone can. My pace is a long way off of doing 5k in 30 mins but just running for 30 mins is a massive achievement for me. I’ll work on getting to 5k over time.

Well done you, the finishing line is in sight! Great post, really encouraging for anyone who's just starting out - or thinking about getting started.

Brilliant ! Go you ! And don’t worry about getting 5k: most people don’t reach it during the programme and it makes a very handy next target. Have fun out there x

Brilliant, well done you 😁 Progressing is a great feeling isn't it! I graduated last week and am not at 5k yet but I'm kind of glad as that gives me my next challenge to aim for. Good luck with your final runs, graduation here you come 👍🏃‍♀️
