W6R3✅ Yay!

[Kat_runs4490]

I just ran for 25 minutes non-stop. So chuffed!

Did have a few ‘I can’t do this’ thoughts early on but once I was halfway I put my positivity hat on and powered on.

Pretty sure I swallowed a few midges on the way. Oh well, extra protein!

🏃🏻‍♀️☺️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great job... and brilliant self coaching with that positivity hat... yes you can, yes you just did! Not sure I’ll go for that extra protein though 🤣

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I think the extra protein helped 😂😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Extra protein for you, you deserve to be chuffed, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, onwards and upwards to week 7 🏃 😊

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Kat_runs4490]

Thanks Annie. It’s amazing what is achievable in just six weeks! ☺️

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Your determination will keep you going and the few midges on top. Well done you 😊

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks Buddy! Would recommend the protein boost 😂

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Yay well done! And well done on the midges too - better you bite them than they bite you!

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Thanks Jazzyrunner!

[Debston Graduate]

Thanks Debston, certainly starting to feel like it!

[Franglaise Graduate]

Well done...bannish those negative thoughts with a positive mantra

The midges are inevitable...like you say...extra protein...enjoy graduation soon

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Franglaise]

Thanks Franglaise, can’t believe I’m only three weeks from graduating (hopefully)

[Laurzmum Graduate]

Great positivity. Its as much mental as physical, this running caper. Not sure im aware of the midgie diet tho ?

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Laurzmum]

Thanks Laurzmum! The midge diet - don’t knock it til you’ve tried it 😂

[Joanna-pink]

Well done. My next run is 25 mins and I’m a wee but unsure I’ll make it. Congrats x

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Joanna-pink]

Thank you. You’ll be fine Joanna-pink! I really wasn’t sure but take it really slow, find your pace and you’ll be grand. Let us know how you get on! X

[Det1482 Graduate]

Well done. That's so good to hear. I'm W6R2 today, so R3 is looming on the horizon. Great to know that you kept going. Hope my run is midge free though!

Good luck with the rest of the programme.

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Det1482]

Thanks Det1482! Good luck on today’s run, I’m sure you’ll be fine! ☺️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Well done Kat_runs4490 great achievement...and battling those gremlins too

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Thanks Mummycav!

[johnno117 Graduate]

Well done! It's amazing how once you pass the halfway mark the mindset just changes - happens to me all the time!

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to johnno117]

Thanks johnno. It is, once you’re halfway it suddenly seems achievable and dare I say, enjoyable!

[Miss-fuschia Graduate]

Well done! It’s such a good feeling getting to this stage! Graduated a month or so back and look back and think how did I get from not being to run for a minute to thinking a 25 min run is a short run now! It’s such a marvellous thing! Keep it up and it’s much easier running in the cool even with the midges!

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Miss-fuschia]

Thank you! Congratulations on graduating, so looking forward to being able to say I have too! I’m still in shock I can go for that long but just goes to show how great the plan is!

[Miss-fuschia Graduate]

It’s so good! I’m in training for a 10 k run next month! What seemed impossible a few months back seems very possible now! And isn’t it nicer running when it’s not so hot! I even like the rain!!!

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Miss-fuschia]

Good luck for the 10k! Oh I love running in the rain, so refreshing

[Sydney7 Graduate]

Well done you, I’m doing W6R2 today so ii shall keep your positivity in mind and keep going 👍🏃🏻‍♀️

[Kat_runs4490 Graduate in reply to Sydney7]

Get that positivity hat on and smash it! Let us know how you get on

[Hidden]
