Another run in the bag - was so tempted to run the extra 2 mins just to prove I can!! But I didn’t! Want to finish this programme knowing I’ve completed every run properly!

Got up and left the house at 6:45 - I’ve realised I’ve stopped having to force myself out now I just kind of get up and go! Like it’s just a habit now!!

Really strange to think next week I could graduate!!!

Well done! We're at the same stage, I completed that same run yesterday (I'm going through the plan again after a long break!) Best of luck with the rest of your runs! Not many to go now 😃👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Aww good luck to you too!! It’s strange isn’t it - I have started the plan before a couple of years ago but didn’t get this far and was in a treadmill - I have enjoyed it much more being outside! 😀😀

Great job. We all know you got 30... no need to prove it to anybody! The real positive there is that you feel you have it in your legs... you’re not finishing on empty. Now you’re in the habit you really have all you need to run any distance you chose, with a good plan of course. Enjoy every run as you close this one out as an awesome new runner.
