W9R3 - completed!

Just got back from a wet and muddy graduation run - surely the best kind of run??

Managed a touch over 4km again, this time all on flat rather the downhill finish I had on Thursday.

This plan is fantastic, the only time I felt out of my depth was before I’d started it. It gives you the confidence to complete each running knowing that you’ve managed everything else it’s asked you to do so far.

The plan’s brilliance is only overshadowed by that of this forum and it’s members. Thank you all for your support, guidance and encouragement. I really could not have got to this stage without you all - thank you.

Couple of consolidation runs and on to 5k!

I think the mud may be here to stay for a while 🤣

You are a better runner than me, I’d be looking for new routes - oh I do that already as I got bored running the same route repeatedly. I’ve yet to tackle off road, especially as I have an aversion to running downhill but that’s the thing I’m tackling now, maybe the mud would take my mind off it. I’ll think of you when I try

No, no, no - not a better runner, a different runner. I haven’t run on the roads yet, in fact I’ve done as much as possible to avoid hills as yet. I think that will have to be something for me to work on now I’ve graduated, there is very little flat ground around here.

Enjoy the mud!
