Whoop whoop! Graduated!

[BorisBoshing]

Run 9.3 in the bag and done. Only got to 4K in the 30 minutes but wanted to make sure I finished, and didn’t have the confidence to increase my pace early on. Consolidation running next where 5k is the target (no time cap). When I started in March, just after lockdown, this seemed a long way away - it’s flown by! All you guys just getting off the couch for the first time - stick with it, it’s worth it.

[BorisBoshing Graduate in reply to Gm2829]

Thank you. I’m delighted and looking forward to giving my next run a bit more welly from the start. 😅

[Gm2829 in reply to BorisBoshing]

I'm just starting here, been on and the treadmill for a couple of weeks and think ill give it a go. So was nice to read this as the first post I saw!! Again well done and keep up the good work 🤩

[BorisBoshing Graduate in reply to Gm2829]

It really does work. Just take it easy, rest when you need to and listen to your body. I’m going to be looking out to see you when you finish it!

[Gm2829 in reply to BorisBoshing]

🍾🥂 Congratulations 🥂🍾

Such a good feeling to finish that last run.

And you've got absolutely the right attitude re: 5k. You have so many options now.

Consolidation is key for the next few weeks and then you can chose what you want to do next.

Well done

Thanks Mig, I enjoyed it sooo much. It was nice and controlled and I know I could have probably pushed more - but then I realised they’ve delayed the Olympic Games so I have time to get quicker! 😂😂

Well done!! Brilliant achievement!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you Alys, had a knee op back at the start of March so I’m well chuffed to be running again.

[AlysP Graduate in reply to BorisBoshing]

Wow that’s even more amazing!! I have got to week 7 and have a very sore knee ( stupidly carried on to end of week7-1 run despite the knee pain getting pretty bad-what a twit!) I now can’t run at all- but had a little whizz round the country side on my road bike this morning which was very enjoyable!!

[BorisBoshing Graduate in reply to AlysP]

I’ve been super cautious with it. Pre-stretching, post stretching, ice and strengthening exercises on my rest days. So far, touch wood, it seems to be fine. The next few weeks will tell...🤞

[AlysP Graduate]

Well done!! Brilliant achievement!! 🎉🎉🎉
