I did it - completed the final run! Yippee 😆

[Comaltdel]

So the day has come and the final run W9R3. Went out a bit earlier to avoid some of the heat. Legs felt tired and the app decided to play up a couple of times, but thankfully I was also tracking the time on Strava and apple watch - (over thinking? me??). Had hoped to sprint the final minute with Jo's encouragement but my legs had other ideas. Was thinking this would be a slow one but really chuffed to say I managed 4.95k in the 30 mins. So am hoping to get to the 5k in the next weeks. Thanks so much to this forum and all the posts and responses which have informed and enthused me along the journey. Now to the next stage...

Thank you I was very surprised with the distance it was the furthest I’d ever managed... must be the half a banana I had before leaving. I usually run with just water in my tummy! I’m a banana fan now

[61Lady Graduate in reply to Comaltdel]

Thanks for the tip - just added more bananas to my shopping list 😃

[Comaltdel Graduate in reply to 61Lady]

Me too 😂

[Comaltdel Graduate in reply to Nervousrunner]

I went a bit earlier than usual to try and beat the heat... that helped together with the magic banana. Convinced that was the secret!
