Almost two weeks post graduation and I am still out there three times a week plodding on like a very slow snail. I am aiming to gradually increase distance until I get to 5K rather than speed at the moment so I am not concerned about being slow it;s just very satisfying to see the distance increasing ever so slightly and I will be ecstatic if/when I eventually get the magic number "5" as distance covered.
To all the beginners still on the first few weeks - you can do it, every week seems impossible but you manage it and then before you know it you've graduated.
