I did it! I’ve completed the ct5k programme! 🤩

[Dendev75]

I finally completed this programme to the final run this morning! After a niggly hip and twingey knee and a heatwave since my last run I made sure I did plenty of stretches before I set out. I knew I could do it this time and I wanted to punch the air when I heard Sanjeev say ‘well done’!

I’m so grateful to everyone on here who have offered great advice and it’s all worked to help me get through to the end! Feeling on a high right now! (And looking like a beetroot) 🥵😂

[M0use Graduate]

Haven't you heard? Sweaty beetroot is the in look at the moment 🥵🏃‍♀️ but seriously congratulations 🎉💐👏 I knew you'd do it and I bet you're feeling fantastic, I know I was. You've done so well, savour the moment,😊🏃‍♀️

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to M0use]

Thanks so much Mouse, totally riding that high! 🤗 Well, my fellow runner (😉) what next? I’m going to try and find those maintenance runs Sanjeev spoke about at the end of today’s run. Keep in touch and keep running! 👍🏻

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to RosesAreRed777]

Thanks so much - I’m probably going to try setting an alarm on my phone for 30 mins and just run till it goes off for the next few runs to see if I can do it without Sanjeev’s encouragement. 😂

Congratulations! What a journey it is. You should be so proud of the effort and the commitment to see it through.

I am on Week 9 as well and about to finish my run 2 today. I think I will cry and laugh at the end of it It has been a discovery of self to say the least.

[Dendev75 Graduate in reply to Annabee18]

Thank you, it ended up taking around 10-11 weeks due to life and heatwave but got there in the end 🤗Well done to you, I look forward to seeing your ‘I did it ‘ post and will be virtually cheering you on. I really wanted to jump in the air and shout yay when I finished 😂🤣🙈 good luck on your next two runs! 🏃🏽‍♀️👍🏻
