I did 25 mins! Pretty chuffed since I had the 2 week break, I really slowed it down and even had enough energy for the power bit at the end, so happy with myself ๐Ÿ˜† technique and practise pays ๐Ÿ‘

Stay safe everyone :)

Hi,

You are correct by stating , you slowed it down - thatโ€™s the key right there :)

Brilliant Alice , your going to be so excited when you complete W9R3 and shout out really loud- YES - Iโ€™ve done it :) ๐Ÿพ

It was a bitter sweet ending and achievement for me . I felt great and at the same time didnโ€™t want it to be the end - silly but true .

I knew i had to set my intention in my mind to maintain my fitness and continue with a three day a week runs.

Iโ€™m now week 7 graduation , and love the magic that happens on the odd dayโ€™s . I have learnt we also have good and bad days , and Iโ€™m ok with this too. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Happy dayโ€™s ahead :)

Hey Iโ€™m also wk7 - 1 run behind you and also had a โ€˜breakโ€™. Getting out of the door is always hard for me but has improved now I commit to meet my daughter for a jog round the park. Huge well done for getting back to it - not long to the end of the program now!

Well Done!

Amazing! I took a break before w7r1 and I set off too fast and had to take 5 minutes out halfway through.

Slowed it down yesterday for r2 and was much better! Finished it :) so pleased!

Well done for your achievement :) x

I'm at the same level as you Alice, done run 2 yesterday. It was my slowest so far but I don't care, we're doing it. I cannot believe how far I've come from wk1, it's unbelievable. Our graduation is in sight for us and we should be so proud of ourselves ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

Yeah I had an asthma flare up and thought I would have to go back to week 5 or something, but the guide says 2 weeks off wont affect you much, which surprised me ๐Ÿ˜‚ I just went nice and slow and managed it somehow ๐Ÿ˜…
