It’s been a journey that has tested determination but one that has given me new focus, increased confidence and fitness. I’ve had ups and downs along the way, used the community to draw additional support and it has seen me graduate from this amazing programme this morning. Like many new runners, I’m a good way from 5k in 30 minutes however, rather than a negative, I see this as my new goal. There is no time limit, just knowing it can happen is enough. Consolidation runs here I come. .....

Well done to you. I graduated last week and like you was a little way off the 5K. Did x2 consolidation runs this week for 30 mins and this morning pushed myself to the 5k. Did manage it in the 30 mins but did it. I have never ran in my life and am amazed I can now run this distance.
