My finishing view tonight πŸ˜€πŸ™ Getting closer and closer to that graduation run. Lovely run tonight, slower but with no headphones just the sound of the calm sea and a timer. Legs are certainly building some muscle and feeling tired from lots of long runs so stretching, stretching and more stretching πŸ˜‚πŸ€ͺ😳...... just amazed at the progress this wonderful programme builds. I LOVE IT β€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈβ€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈβ€οΈπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

You sound so happy, this is what running is all about, never mind times and distances they are added bonuses. Happy running

Wow that’s amazing. I’m quite far off 5 especially at my slower pace today. But I’m hoping once Ive established the 30min runs over time they will grow in distance. So happy πŸ˜€ for you your even closer than me. Can’t wait for that graduation πŸŽ“ run πŸŽ“ I have been known to cheer out loud and punch the air on momentum run days. I imagine I’ll be jumping up and down for joy on week 9 run 3 πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ enjoy you graduation run I’ll be cheering you on.

Yeah forget the speed concentrate on building stamina and distance.

I have ran at 8kmph the whole time and so hit my 5k at 37.5 mins.

At 51 speed is not my aim.

I just felt good today and so pushed on at the same pace.

Back to a 30 min run only for my graduation.

Not sure on my goals for next week but I might keep with 30 mins for 2 runs and a 5k if I feel good.

I want to run for longer rather than faster. I might even try reducing my speed to 7kmph and see if I can run for longer.

Good luck and keep it up πŸ‘

It’s fun to make progress plans. I love getting to the place where I hit the pace and get in the zone where my mind wanders. Loving the idea of going for longer and further and like that my running brain is planning life beyond couch to 5k. I’ve loved every min of it even the hard days ( when I’ve finished that is πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚) look forward to seeing your graduation post
