Graduated!

Yeo! 9 weeks ago I found 60 secs challenging to run. I'm just back from 5.46k in 40 mins (including 5 mins warm up and down). I actually speeded up and did a little jump and air punch at the end. This programme ROCKS! Will do another repeat of week 9 then maybe pluck up the courage for a park run. Then... Who knows? But it will involve running that's for sure. Peeps, if I can do this (not even sporty back in the day at school) *anyone* can!

Congrats, Clickcrash! Remember to apply for your graduation badge. Have a look at the 5k+ podcasts - they're really good for building speed and stamina! Best wishes. :)

Fantastic! I dream of getting close to your success. Laura must be right.

Enjoy your new found fitness!

Thanks guys. This forum has kept me going and whipped my ass on days when I felt like skipping runs. Just knowing there's a massive posse out there pounding the streets with Laura makes you feel accountable, you know? Celebrated with a new pair of trainers. Looking forward to testing them out tomorrow. Oona, will check out the 5k+ for sure, thanks for the tip off :)
