I've only gone and done it!

[Sharklet69]

Wk9r3 completed and I feel amazing! After only 3 months I'm running for 30 minutes and loving it. Average distance 3.8km so planning on working on pace to build gradually to 5k. Thanks to all of you for your inspiration and help. YAY 🥰

[Kish247 Graduate]

Awesome awesome stuff!! Many congratulations to you.

Sounds like you've got a sensible plan for your next chapter

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to Kish247]

Thank you! Hope so, not trying to rush it.

[Kish247 Graduate in reply to Sharklet69]

Sensible idea. I went on a new route and tried the guided runs on the Nike App as soon as i finished. 5 of my 8 consolidation runs have been 4km with the 2 most recent ones being 5km (first attempt and did it) and 2km today.

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to Kish247]

Fantastic! Well done 👍

[ChipsAndChocolate Graduate]

Woo hoooooo!!!! Hopefully this will be me on Saturday too!! Two runs to go😊😊

And I’ve the same idea about building to 5k, I was about the same distance last night.

You’ve come so far!!

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to ChipsAndChocolate]

Thanks, you too! Looking forward to seeing your graduation post ☺️

[Yaxham]

That's brilliant, well done. I've just done R1W5 I hope I can get to the end 😁

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to Yaxham]

You can do it. Well done 👍

[JetsNanna Graduate]

Well done! It feels great doesn’t it 😊

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to JetsNanna]

Brilliant 😊

[Belushi Graduate]

Great stuff. Do not be in a hurry to run too fast. I have found that it is speed not distance that affects my body, so my first 5k was nearly 40 minutes. So go steady at 30 minutes and maybe once a week go a little further until you make it to 5k after a few months, congrats once again

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to Belushi]

Thanks. I'm planning on doing several consolidation runs before trying to increase pace or time but thanks for your helpful advice. Last thing I want to do is pick up an injury trying to go too far or fast. 👍😁

[Dannybhoy625 Graduate]

Brilliant! Congratulations, a really fine achievement. This running malarkey can become quite addictive though😉

[Sharklet69 Graduate in reply to Dannybhoy625]

Oh yeah 🤣

[Dannybhoy625 Graduate in reply to Sharklet69]

😂😂👍

[Debwilcha Graduate]

Weldone, it’s a great feeling isn’t it 😊

[Mill1962 Graduate]

Well done and many congratulations it feels great doesn’t it. Just keep enjoying the running and you will be amazed what happens to both your time and distance, just don’t get too hung up on it.

[Dups Graduate]

Congratulations. Amazing achievement 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏

[Hidden]

I’m steps behind you, my WK9R3 tomorrow, yesterday I ran 4K in 35 mins and so also need to improve my pace. After the program will mix it up with distance runs and timed runs but intend to keep three runs a week going, can’t believe I’m here!

[Jamiroq]

Congratulations and very well done. Keep up the sensible approach and you will reach 5K in no time🎉🎊

[Netballer7 Graduate]

Well done! It’s a great feeling when you complete that 3rd run in week 9! 👏👏👏

[gus74 Graduate]
