To quote ABBA - "Here I go again!"

โ€ข21 Replies

I got to W9R1 on my first attempt in June 2019 before landing on the injury couch.

A frustrating false restart in September with more foot niggles and a chest infection put paid to attempt number 2.

Today I seized the day and ran W1R1. It felt great to begin working on what I hope will be my 'third time lucky' attempt! ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ€

It's great to see some familiar names still on the forum from back when I first started, and lots of newbies too! Good luck to you all and enjoy yoour running. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sounds like the reason for not completing last time was completely out of your control.

Fingers crossed you'll have a smooth run this time. Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Hello! Good to hear from you and thank you for the good luck wishes ๐Ÿ˜Š.

At least I know what lies ahead this time..... and hopefully I will recognise when I need to slow things down a bit. I'm determined to get that shiny graduate badge next to my name!!

Hi OGR!

C25K/3!! Love it!! Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi Delly-Dot. We have followed a similar path, I got to week 8 last summer before I sustained a stress fracture. Went back to Wk 3 a month before Christmas, but the holidays got in the way! New year and pressing forward, we can do this together!

Hi - yes we can! Itโ€™s so frustrating when you canโ€™t complete it and itโ€™s not through the want of trying. Good luck to you! ๐Ÿ€
