W8R3

W8R3 completed. Can't believe I did it, although I can't say I find it easy, and if I didn't have my friend running with me I may have given up, but at least I kept going 😀. 30 mins to do on Monday (W9R1), and then attempting a park run on New Year's Day, where I won't have my friend running with me. I did W6R2 within a park run he was doing and thought I'd stop, but kept going as didn't want to let him down, so hopefully I will manage my W9R2 by myself, which would be a huge acheivement for me! Looking forward to a new me next year 😀

You are doing fantastically and are a new you already

Run slowly and think how disappointing he would be if you don’t finish.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

Not everyone enjoys the actual running BUT the effects on their body.

Please post afterwards and let us know what time you finished in.

Good luck

I did it!!!! Yay me 😁 Not only did I run my 30 minutes (W9R2) without stopping, but I actually ran the whole parkrun without stopping with a time of 38 minutes 22 seconds! I am absolutely amazed and proud of myself. Thank you for all your support 😁
