can’t believe it!

I’m so pleased to say that yesterday I finished my last run of week 9! I really don’t know how I’ve got here. Overweight, over the hill, never exercised in my life and now going out 3 times a week to run for 30 mins who’d have beloved it possible. I can’t lie, it’s still tough each time and each time I wonder if I’ll manage to get to the end but I do. It great to have the lovely Sanjeev Kohli egging me on and I’m still going to keep him as my running buddy! Anyone else use Sanjeev? It’s made such a difference to be able to see and share everyone else’s journey- thanks all - even though I ain’t leaving the community any time soon! Well done everyone- if I can do it, ANYONE can!

you really can. I took a fair bit longer than 9 weeks! More like 3 months. Take it REALLY easy. Good luck with your running 🙂

All good thanks, W6r3 done. 9 runs to go! Then I'll head over to Bridge to 10K and do that plan - I have a 10k booked for September to motivate myself!

That's fantastic! Well done MatthewR!🎉👏 I have yet to do run 3 of week 9 soon so I am just lagging behind you. Yes I find it a challenge too but I found Jo Wiley brilliant as a coach and I want to keep going as I feel much fitter 👍
