Only 3 runs left 😥

A hot 28 minute last w8 run, and somehow the fastest yet, no idea how that happened, arrived at the usual finishing place and there was still over a minute to go eeek. My face was red and hot for ages afterwards. Can’t believe I’m suddenly on the last week, where has the time gone. What an experience.

Hi there that’s great well done 👍 we ran last run of week 6 yesterday running for 25 mins can’t believe we did it but just realised the distance was 2.92km so not sure how long it will take us to get to 5k in 30 mins. How far do you get in 28 mins are we a bit slow?

[MrsCDN Graduate in reply to crainer]

Including the walk I was about 3.8k, so not sure what the run total was. But I’m not fast by any means.

[crainer in reply to MrsCDN]

No am not either just trying to slow jog the 25 mins just can’t believe I can actually jog for that long 🤪

I'm doing around 3.25km in the 30 min runs but not worrying about it until I get through the final run this weekend and start on consolidating. I was a bit sad about my pace, until I realised a lot of the 9-week programme is getting both body and mind to a point where I think of myself as a runner and as someone who can go out for 30 mins. And I'll work on the pace after that. I figured my next challenge will be to get to 4k, however long it takes and after that, I'll decide if I want to just leave it at that.

Yes very good advice I can see what your saying it’s all about getting the body and mindset right as can definitely feel my legs are getting stronger and much more used to it I just need to train my mind to keep going 👍👍👍👍 thanks

Oh wow really well done today!

[Scouser67 Graduate]

Slow and steady, and keep going. It’s about being able to run for 30 minutes. I can’t run 5K and I graduated on Monday, however, I am determined to do it. In the meantime I’m just getting used to running for 30 minutes.

You are all doing so well. Happy running 🏃‍♀️

[MrsCDN Graduate in reply to Scouser67]

I don’t set out to do distance. Just pleased to get through the time 😉

Well done you!!! I have struggled this week 8 due to heat 🥵🥵🥵🥵...

[Scouser67 Graduate]

It has been extremely hot in the south west of England. We had about a minute of rain and I thought I’m going out in that. By the time I had changed and set myself up for the run the rain had stopped, however, it felt cooler at 28 degrees so I went out anyway. 🏃‍♀️

Very well done!

[arbitrarygenius Graduate]

Also,. I had that exact same feeling at end of week 8 - how could it possibly be final week next? It's nuts how quick the last few weeks seem to have gone.

Well done, nearly a graduate...great feeling getting that little word by your name 😁. I was faster last night too...I think it must be coz we're too flippin hot and think if we run faster we'll get home quicker 😆
