Can not believe only 2 more to go. I have struggled all the way but I have got here in 9 weeks. It is nice to see I am not the only one though!

I am still hoping that one day I will truly enjoy the run from start to finish, rather than just getting through it !!

Final push 💪🏻🏃🏼‍♂️

Thanks and great work yourself.!

This forum really does help you understand that most people that start this C25K struggle in many different ways (so its nice to know its not just me and you!).

Ill let you know how long it takes to get to the enjoyment bit :-)

You’re so nearly there - well done. I’m repeating W9 for consolidation runs and there is a hint of enjoyment after the first 5 mins now so stick with it - you never know

Great work, it is nice to know its not just me!

There is something very mentally motivating about that W9R3 target. I just need to find that same mental drive once graduated.

Yes that is a worry. Have a feeling I will not be able to wean myself off Jo! It’s almost deflating in a way coming to the end 😂

We're at the same point, I find a nice new route really helps me enjoy the run - keeps me distracted and I love the sense of exploring new places.
