I completed W9 R3 today. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

I won’t lie that these 30min runs have been hard, but I can see now that it’s my mind wanting to give up long before my body gets tired.

My next challenge is to manage 5k, as my slooooowww πŸ€ͺ pace means I’m just about reaching 4k in the 30 mins.

Thanks to all you lovely lot for your support and advice. If an overweight, almost 50 Yr old can do it then believe in yourself and you can do it too.

Congratulations.

Only a small proportion of graduates from this forum who responded to a poll, managed 5k in 30 minutes by graduation healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

Graduation requirements are that you complete three thirty minute runs, regardless of distance.

Read the What Next post for ongoing ideas and guidance on consolidation.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations! It’s miles better to be running slowly and really master that. It took me ages after graduation to work that out so you’re miles ahead of me!!

Enjoy your consolidation runs!!!. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done, I bet you had a huge grin on your face when you finished your run. It has been 6 years since I did W9R3, but I can still remember having a fixed, idiot grin on my face :D
