ο»ΏCan't believe I actually graduated yesterday! πŸ₯³πŸ‘. Definitely would not have made it without the invaluable advice from this forum from my post "getting my breath". I realised I'd been trying to run too fast (although it didn't feel like I was going too fast at the time!), so I was constantly out of breath and feeling extremely disheartened by week 6, the links to slow jogging below : youtu.be/9L2b2khySLE(Not working as expected?) & FAQ toxic 10 link, were my saviour and the turning point for me, plus all the supportive messages I received which also recommended I really slowed down my pace and I eventually realised I was running without struggling to breath as by slowing down my pace I was able to control my breathing which is an absolute amazing feeling & I rarely think about my breathing now πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ so many many thanks to this forum for getting me through to the end & I hope this inspires others to keep going and ask for help if you are struggling because you can do it tooπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Thank you, I've really no idea where it will lead but think I'll just continue to aim for x3 30 min runs per week & look to join a park run maybe! Still in shock that I've made it this far! πŸ‘πŸ‘Xxx

Park runs are amazing, I tried my first 3 weeks into consolidation runs and I love them - they are the highlight of my week.

Congratulations on graduating - what a feeling! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸThat was also the best advice for me on here to slow down my pace and it did work.

Are you going to treat yourself to a graduation present? 😊
