week 9 run 1 completed

[Dendev75]

I forgot to start my Strava so added another couple of minutes to today’s 30 minute run (getting cocky now 😂) so I managed to run a distance of 4.3k in 30 mins which I’m happy with, not about speed for me, just about completing the 30 mins for now. 2 more to go 🤞🏻

Way to go, you're doing great 💪. I'm planning on my week 9 run 1 this afternoon as it's not too hot 😊

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to M0use]

Thank you, good luck this afternoon 👍🏻👊🏻

Hope you managed it... there is cloud here and stiff breeze! Dried all my towels though ! Post your run

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Excellent.

Just 1 hour to graduation 😁

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Ooh didn’t think of it like that, thank you 😊

[MissUnderstanding Administrator On a break Graduate]

Getting very close now! You can start thinking about that celebration…

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thank you - new trainers coming for graduation.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator On a break Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

Oooh…new shoes! Photos are compulsory…

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Ha ha okay I’ll post for my final run 👍🏻🤞🏻

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Slow, steady, safe and satisfying Love it!

Thank you Oldfloss 😊

[Liono Graduate]

Ooh, not long now! Exciting! 🏃

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

Thank you 😊 I’m excited as I only made it to week 9 run 2 last year - hoping all goes to plan this time 🤞🏻

[Liono Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

Oh no, so close! What happened?

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

Had a huge anxiety attack the evening I was going to do my last run 😢 really took it out of me for a long time but I’m back and feel fitter this time ☺️

[Liono Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

Oh yes, I'm sorry - I remember you telling us now. How fantastic that you're back again and feeling fitter. You'll smash it! And we will be at the virtual finish line to cheer you over. You're obviously very committed to this running lark so it won't be your last run anyway - it'll be the first run of your new running life, as a graduate 😃🏃

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

Thank you I can’t wait to post that last run 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🤞🏻 I’m looking forward to doing some consolidation runs and seeing if I can get to 5k in one go 👍🏻

[Liono Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

Yes, that's my next goal too!

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

Where are you up to since you graduated? Have you used an app to continue after ct5k? I’ve read about a Nike running app which sounds good. ☺️

[Liono Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

I've done 5 graduation runs now. Several just listening to music, one listening to a podcast, one was a repeat of W9R3 because I missed Laura's countdown, and then I also tried the Nike Run Club app. There are loads of runs on there and quite a few 30 min ones. It was different, but interesting and I'll definitely do more.

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

What do graduation runs mean? I think I’ll start with a repeat of 30 mins but with a timer on my watch instead of ct5k and see how that goes but will also look into the Nike running app too, good luck and keep us updated with your running ☺️

[Liono Graduate in reply to Dendev75]

Sorry, I meant consolidation runs!

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Liono]

I had to ask what they meant a couple of weeks ago 🤣😂

[Tazzy_wazzy Graduate]

Congratulations and well done 👍 Keep enjoying your running 🏃‍♀️

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Tazzy_wazzy]
