Pleased to report that I completed the programme this afternoon.

I have only posted a couple of times over the last 9 weeks but have been reading and liking posts daily.

The support from this community has been invaluable.

If anyone is thinking of giving it a go my recommendation is to go for it.

Thank mrsrun, I'll be looking to improve my parkrun time and build up my distance over time. I'm really enjoying the running.

And of course more walking. I was up at Hadrian's wall today.

How did your Lady Anne's Way walk go ?

I was looking forward to an update :-)

I reckon your right , distance over time. My walk had to be adapted because of my injury , so strictly I did most of the walk but not the full route but don't tell Lady Anne...... Mind she did most of it in a carriage.... Lazy lady ! Stiles were a challenge by the end with my hip..... I bet I did not look graceful ! . I loved Hadrian's wall and that felt a doddle to some of the paths we took... I would do Hadrian's wall again in a heart beat.....

Woohoo!! Well done for being one of the elite few that actually manage 5k in 30 minutes on graduation (I certainly am NOT one of them!). What now? Consolidation? 10k?

You've definitely got this in the bag, so the running world is your oyster👍😀💪🥇🏃

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and good luck to everyone who is still doing the programme.

If anyone asks which is the most difficult run, it is week 1 run 1 when you first step outside the door in your running gear.

You think everyone will be looking and judging you, but you soon realise they aren't and it gets easier every run :-)
