I have just finished my Week 9, Run 2. It was my best run to date. I ran 4.5km so I am delighted and enjoyed it so much. Felt more confident to push myself a bit harder today and listened to different music.

I can’t believe I only have one more run to complete!

Happy running everyone!!

Wow! Well done!! You’re so close to the actual 5k!

I haven’t quite pushed through that 4K barrier yet😫😫😫

Did you do that in 30 mins or did you keep running for longer?

Amazing to get soooo close to the graduation run! You’re doing so brilliantly:)

Thank you so much!!

That was in 30 minutes, I really pushed myself this time and I went out earlier than I normally do so had not done lots of other things beforehand. It felt so good. I hope I can do the same again on my final run!!

You are doing so amazing as well.

Thank you for your support.

Well done. One to go! I'm at the same stage so good luck with the last one. I've managed just over 4k in the 30 minutes but hopefully will get to 5k at some point (although not expecting to do that in 30 minutes!)

I am really looking forward to it now. Today was so enjoyable. I think the change in Music helped as well.

Wow! I’m thinking of moving up to 10K training.over the next few weeks but I haven’t actually run 5K in 30 minutes yet. I did however run for 50 minutes last Friday in two attempts to graduate!

That is fantastic, well done. I did not run 5k till after graduating that is amazing that you are running for 50 minutes

DodgylungsGraduate in reply to 9weeks2Run

Thank you, not in one go. I ran for 20 minutes during an aborted attempt to graduate and stopped through nausea. I then went back out three hours later and ran 30 minutes. Crazy but necessary! I could t bear not to graduate with others on here!
