W9R3 - can’t believe I made it to Graduation!

Today I completed my run 3 of week 9. I started this programme 9 weeks ago to make myself get some fresh air and exercise because I found that since working from home, I could go for days without leaving the house. After genuinely struggling to run for 69 seconds in wk1, I never thought I would ever be able to run for 30 mins but today I did for the third time this week and kept going until I had completed 5k which took me 35 mins. I am so so pleased and proud of myself. Was a beautiful morning for it too

Well done on graduating. I’m slightly ahead of you by a couple of weeks and am venturing on consolidation runs. That seems to be the way to go. I’m a lot slower than you though. It’ll be a long time before I can do 5k in 30 mins. (44 this morning) but I am heavier and older than you, probably. My son said. What do you expect at your age, dad!!!
