After stopping at W2R2 for a few weeks while I recovered from a painful shin and thinking running wasnt for me, I finished my meds, felt good about walking 4miles every other morning that I decided to start the entire thing again - one of the best decisions I've ever made.
The entire programme and this family of runners on here is truly inspiring and has definitely changed my life. Yeah, 2020 has sucked a lot in many ways but when I think about this year in the future, I'll always think about this day, the hardwork leading up to it and the fact that it has started me off on this new journey.
I wanted to run further than the 30 minutes today and was hoping to do 4km in about 34 minutes but I decided to stop just after 32 minutes as I knew my pace was off (today was an off day compared to the last 2 and I struggled a bit which is fine, it happens) so I ended up doing 3.68km instead. I was initially deflated at that but the fact that my legs were wobbling when I stopped, I knew CHOOSING to stop was the best thing and yknow, whats the rush? Who cares? 4km on the last run wasn't my goal until yesterday anyway and now there is a new challenge all together! π
I'm really proud of myself and all of us on here! ππͺ

Well done fellow Graduate! I canβt tell you how excited I was to get Graduate by my name on Sunday, Iβm still beaming ! Congratulations- hereβs to the next chapter
Definitely still amateurs but I think this programme has set us up nicely in the way it makes us increase our run times so will be trying that.
I'm running again on Friday and then away for a week so was tempted to take my shoes and do a few 20-30 minute runs just so I don't lose what I've gained.
Iβve read more than once on here that for the first 2 weeks that no fitness levels are lost ...
I would pack shoes so you have options but be safe in the knowledge that you CAN take a week off without it impacting all youβve worked so hard to gain ππ
