Well I've graduated for the 2nd time!!I completed the programme back in August but I was on holiday and completed the last 6 runs on a treadmill. I had previously ran outside so I wanted to redo the runs outside. I managed to complete week 8 at the beginning of September. Week 9 came I had a severe knock to my confidence due to a group of teenagers. I really did not to want to carry on running. Anyway I joined a gym and completed week 8 and 9 again. The treadmill suits me better. I was running at 5:30 during the summer as I start work early but now it's too dark for this. I go to the gym after work at 1.00pm so it's very quiet. Now the weather has changed,running outside is less appealing. . I've also started swimming too. So quite a lot of positives. My next challenge is run 5k in 30 mins and to enjoy running. I feel great afterwards but not feeling it before a run.

Really well done I graduated in July but had done all my running on the treadmill so started again outside just done W5r2 in rain. But still quite anxious about a run before I do it worrying that I won’t complete it. Definitely finding running outside less stressful as not clock watching like I do in the gym also managing a better pace outside. Am also in a gym so do some running there too but now finding running outside is easier. Yeah.
