You are doing amazing under any circumstances let alone so soon after your illness. Take it easy on yourself, you won’t fail, you might just take a little longer to succeed 💚

Thank you for your support, yes I will only one more to go and I will complete

Be kind to yourself and don't push too hard........that is when injury is much more likely to strike.

If you are struggling, just slow down.

[apps1806 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you , I don’t go very quick tbh

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to apps1806]

If you are pushing hard, regardless of speed, it is hard..............if you slow down it is easier.

Yes true

Think you’re an inspiration to be doing so well.

Thank you that’s so kind - have found out that I am very determined

[Lobajo Graduate]

That is so amazing - you should be so proud of yourself. I am sure your family are really proud of you too. Keep going - if you have come this far with those kinds of health challenges you can definitely make it!

I completed the programme yesterday and just wanted to say a huge “well done” for doing so brilliantly despite your treatment having finished so recently. You really are an inspiration. I took an extra rest day before W9 R3 and am so glad I did. I enjoyed the run so much and could really appreciate how far I’d come and what I’d achieved as it was a joy to be running. I actually felt so good and comfortable that I ran past the 30 minutes to hit 5k in 36.

Good luck with the run and huge congratulations on your achievement.

[apps1806 Graduate in reply to Placitasgirl]

Well done on completing the programme yesterday...... thank you for your kind words regarding me I am starting to feel proud of myself

[Placitasgirl Graduate in reply to apps1806]

And do you should. You haven’t just gone from Couch to 5k like most of us, you’ve done so much more. Do please let us know when you graduate and I for one will be cheering for you. You are truly amazing 🏅🏃🏽‍♀️🍾

[apps1806 Graduate in reply to Placitasgirl]

Ah thank you so much , should be Sunday I graduate 😀

[apps1806 Graduate in reply to Placitasgirl]

I have completed today 😀

[Placitasgirl Graduate]

Woo Hoo, huge congratulations on your incredible achievement.

You should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved. You're an inspiration to everyone here and I'm sure you must feel quite emotional now you've graduated.

I'll raise a glass of something cold and fizzy to you later today; enjoy the moment and I wish you years of happy running and good health to come.
