I think I just graduated 🤩 haven’t got any inspirational stories (litterally just came back from running which doesn’t help 😂) but wanted you lot, most supportive community out there, to be the first to know 😘

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

That’s fabulous 🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️ ! But rather confusing. What do you mean, you THINK you graduated ? Were you running so fast you missed it ? 😄

[Mause Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Hahaha, had just returned from the run, was buzzin’, high on endorfines and could hardly believe I actually pulled it off! By now, I’m sure I did!!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Mause]

Terrific ! What are your next plans ? Don’t forget to check out the Quest posts on here 😀

[Mause Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

First some consolidating (mainly in order to figure out a playlist that works for me, now that I have to miss Laura). After that I’d like to keep running 3x per week, 1 day 30min/5k, 1 day interval/or sorts to up my speed, and 1 day building up in time 10% per week to build up to 10k 😁

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Mause]

Sounds like a great plan ! And you don’t have to give up Laura - she’s there to help you through consolidation, and she’s also the voice of NHS Strength and Flex podcasts !

[Mause Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

I’ll have a look at those Strength & Flex podcasts then, thanks!

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Mause]

They’re great ! 😄

[ChoosingHappy Graduate]

Well done!! 💪💪💪

I've just finished week 1 and the concept of finishing week 9 seems like a bizarre dream. I've just joined here and your post definitely is inspirational 👍

[Mause Graduate in reply to ChoosingHappy]

You shall be amazed by the progress you’ll make, just remember it’s not about speed, but stamina. And take good care of yourself, drink lots of water (always, not just on rundays or the day before) and trust the program ☺️ And whenever you struggle reach out to the people on this forum! Most supportive bunch of people you’ll find (online anyways).

Happy running!

[ChoosingHappy Graduate in reply to Mause]

Thanks for the tips! 😁
