W9R3 complete. I am a graduate!!!

When I started this I was dubious about my levels of fitness and self discipline. I have ploughed through this and even when it was a real struggle I carried on. No runs delayed, no runs repeated. I am utterly amazed at myself and if you knew me you’d me amazed too. I stuck with it and I feel marvellous.

I must say this though - this forum - you lovely lot with your encouragement and advice and sharing of your experiences were ‘the difference’. Every step of the way I was checking in to see if anyone felt the same as me either physically or mentally so THANK YOU.

The sky is the limit now - I AM a runner 😊😊😊😊

Well done!!! I bet it feels great, I can’t wait to get there!

What’s your plan for after consolidation, are you going to push on to 10k?

JetsNannaGraduate in reply toLookslikejames

I will definitely keep running. Consolidation runs come next, I believe, so (quite) a few more 30 minute runs and then I’ll push on to more distance-measured runs. I am still very slow and I didn’t run 5k but I did do 3x30 mins. Maybe the first goal will be to get to 5k 😂

The distance is irrelevant, the fact you can run 30 minutes 3 times a week is awesome!

I like the idea of one day being able to go out on an hour run, and just run to wherever without worrying about time or distance.

Anyway, well done and enjoy celebrating this weekend!
