Completed run w2r3 and boy was it hard , my daughter has decided to run with me today ,she wanted to pick up were I was on the program but being half my age and about 3 stone lighter she wanted to go faster than me ,so I tried to keep up with her and I did manage it but struggled with my breathing.
I was really pleased I done it but with my breathing I am now scared to move on to week 3 in case I fail, my breathing was so bad that is what made me struggle so much. Legs willing, lungs not so willing maybe I should repeat the last run again at my own pace and see how I go and stop trying to keep up with the young ones

Increasing speed at this stage can be hard work and very demoralising. It's generally considered that we don't try to increase until after graduation. I think my advice here would be to do the run again at your own pace and then move on to week 3 - again running at your own pace. I did a podcast today where you have to keep in time to the beat (it's a follow on from graduation) and it didn't suit me at all - so I'm reverting to my own easy pace for the time being. Good luck with your next run and best wishes.
I wouldn't repeat the run. You did it even with the pressure of a faster pace set by your daughter. It's on to the next run. You are more than ready. I do suggest going at your own pace though.
Thanks for the advice ,I think I will try and do run 3 and if unable to will go back a step . I will defo try on my own so no pressure ,will post how I get on .
