Finished Week 9 Run 3 yesterday just as ‘you are the one and only’ came on the radio!! As I got home 5k notification on watch, so double whammy. Managed the goal 1 week before 60th birthday. Planning to do a park run before Xmas.
It took a lot longer than 9 weeks through injury and other factors. I struggle at the beginning of the longer runs and did some weeks several times.
only suggest that you listen to your body and persevere. It is worth it for so many reasons and you will feel so pleased with yourself at the end.
