Just completed my W9R3 and graduated. I’m so happy. This is my first post on here, all your posts over the last couple of months have really spurred me on and reassured me that speed doesn’t matter. Whilst I’ve certainly not covered 5k I can now happily run for 30 mins non stop and at 42 having never ever run before I’m over the moon. It’s really hilly where I live too so extra pleased with that, coming back downhill is always the best bit!

Congratulations and really impressed by your hill running. I still drive to the bottom of my hill so I only have to run slopes. Enjoy your consolidation runs.

Congratulations on your graduation! I avoided hills for the longest time and am in awe of anyone who faces them when they first start out 😀. You're in a very big club of people who don't run 5k when they graduate (the vast majority in fact!). Enjoy the freedom of running outside the program as you consolidate all you've achieved. Congratulations again!

Thank you. I don’t love the uphill to be honest but the downhill makes it worth it!
