Graduation Week Celebration

“I never thought I would achieve so much in a short amount of time”.                          “I couldn’t of done this on my own”.                                    “The crew are so supportive and caring”.                         “This has been an amazing journey”.                               “Who thought I would now be running a parkrun on a Saturday”.

Medals, Radio interviews and press releases!

That was a busy week full of activity and celebration.  On Tuesday evening the crew completed Week9 Run3 of the couch programme.  The positivity and smiles could be seen beaming for miles, what an achievement, however what a journey.  Reminding the group to look back at Week1 just shows how far everyone has come from running 1 minute for 8 segments, to now completing 30 minutes non stop.  Presenting the awards was so inspiring to hear the pride and achievement made from everyone who collected their certificates and medals.  A big thank you to Mark Walkingshaw who stood in at the last minute to present the awards.  

Just when I thought it was all over, the group decided to turn the tide on me and completely surprise me with a generous presentation, which was very emotional and most appreciated.  I would like to say a big thanks to Carolyn Cross from Active Gloucestershire who has arranged radio interviews https://planetradio.co.uk/greatest-hits/gloucestershire/news/health-hustle-scheme-gloucestershire/  and press releases covering the events.  https://wecanmove.net/blog/health-hustle-achieving-goals

What is next? No time for a break as we prepare for the next course starting on 2nd November.  The difference with this group, will be the number of running buddies who will be supporting new members taking on the nine week programme.  If you are thinking about it why not come for a taster session with the crew? We offer coaching and support through the programme.  If you can’t make the group runs why not connect with us and do the programme virtually.  We have no barriers with this programme and use a number of apps to help you get through the course.  Join us, you won’t regret it and will be surprised by the results.
