I finally finished the program this morning, a tough, slow run but I kept on going and woooooo it’s the end of the program! Can’t quite believe it, thanks to everyone here for being the most wonderful support. Anyone starting out, you can do it if I can!!!

Yay! Me too. It was my slowest yet, but I managed 5k - it took 40 minutes, but never mind! I never imagined I would be able to run this far. Now - what's next?

Ojojodee profile image
OjojodeeGraduate in reply to Devonndumpling

That’s great! Still haven’t attempted or made it to 5k yet, that’s the next challenge x

Devonndumpling profile image
Devonndumpling in reply to Ojojodee

I'm 'running' more slowly than I could walk though! Next target is to try and speed up - any tips on how to do that?

Congratulations... a huge achievement 👏👏... an inspiration to us still part way through the program is hearing of those who have finished .. well done and thank you for sharing

Well done! I have just completed week 3 and terrified at the thought of 5 minute runs next week so to run continuously for 40 minutes is just awesome! Many congratulations to you.

Devonndumpling profile image
Devonndumpling in reply to RunJD

I found the early weeks really hard, but for some reason running 15 and 20 minutes was almost easier than the 5 minute runs broken up with walks? No idea why. Keep going - if a life long couch potato like me can do it, anyone can!

Congratulations Ojojodee, what a great achievement. Celebrations certainly need to be on the cards for you tonight. I was on cloud nine on my last run of the challenge even managing to keep going for 40 minutes with the final bit up a little hill - its hard to think back to week 1 when I could barely manage the 1 minute runs.

Wow fantastic! I bet you are on such a high right now and we'll deserved too. I've just completed run 1 of week 7 so a few weeks to go till I'm there but hearing stories like yours gives me the enthusiasm and motivation to do it!

Well done 👍🏃‍♀️I’m nearly there just 2 runs to go before graduation not quite 5k in 30 minutes (4.4k) because I know I was little slower today because I went out to quick on my last 28 minute run but hopefully I will get the 5k by graduation in 30 minutes
