Week 9 run 2 - only 1 to go 👍

[carolinestanford]

Hard to believe I’ve only got one run left as definitely didn’t think 9 weeks ago I would be here 🤗. I’m still very slow but that’s ok. My aim was to be able to get out three times weekly for 30mins. Just got to master running in the cold and wet now 😬

[Pnegirl Graduate]

That's amazing, we'll done on reaching the final run! You should be so proud of yourself. If you unlock the secret to running in cold mornings, do share hahaha! I know I certainly have to invest in running gloves but it was lovely running on all the sparkling frosty white grass today 🙂

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to Pnegirl]

I’m fine when I’m out there ... it’s just getting out there sometimes 😀

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

I can relate 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Well done on your run !

And yes, one to go 😬

Have a good rest day and then enjoy your graduation run .

I found mine quite emotional ! 😁

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Thx I will certainly try 😀

[mezziejay Graduate]

Im literally so excited for you! This will be me next week ! If you dont mind me asking how far are you getting ? Im only covering just over 2 miles which I think might be snails pace!!

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

Hi there - probably about 2.5 miles on a good day - certainly nowhere near 5k 😉

[mezziejay Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

That’s super fast compared to me 😂😂 unless the extra 2 minutes I can do half a mile 😂😂x

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

Honestly it depends on the day - sometimes it’s nearer 2miles x I really wouldn’t worry about the distance as long as you are doing the time x that’s all we can hope for at the moment 😉

[JetsNanna Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

2.5 miles is 4K so you’re doing brilliantly & you’re certainly far from ‘nowhere near 5k’ 😊

[BradC Graduate in reply to mezziejay]

Don’t worry about the distance. Apparently if you run slowly it builds up your strength and stamina. I believe this because I have been deliberately making sure I keep my steps short on my consolidation runs, but my speed seems to be slowly increasing 🏃‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️😊

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to BradC]

Thk you x

[VPOLLIE67 Graduate]

[JetsNanna Graduate]

I felt the same way about this marvellous programme and I definitely feel the same about running in the cold and wet 🤦🏻‍♀️

[carolinestanford Graduate in reply to JetsNanna]

Glad it’s not just me 😀 xx

[Dups Graduate]
