Feeling great for it starting to feel like I runner now, confidence is at a real high. And have to say don't care where I'm running or who see's me these days!
Fitness is up and accomplishing something now! Happy days.
Thinking of dropping back to W3 runs on rest days? Any thoughts just feel the need to keep moving. I feel I could do this as I did week three a few more times than I needed to and seam to do it with relative ease! Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks

I do a toning and fitness class once a week. I walk a lot rather than catching the bus. I use a resistance band for strength. There are lots of things you could do. Happy peddling
Well done. I know how you feel and that you are keen to get running, I was the same, but I would rest on rest days. Your body needs to recover. At the end of the day you know your own body but just go careful. Afterall, you would feel a lot worse if you suffered an injury because of over training and couldn't run at all for a week or two.
This is a great post to read - so positive and happy about what you are achieving. I am only on week 1 - very positive about it all, but I certainly hope I am still this way like you are at Week 4! Well done!
Nope no running on rest days, I was the same, so wanted to, but was told in no uncertain words on the forum a BIG NO NO !!
Agree with everyone - rest days are called that for good reason - the mind is always willing but sometimes the body can be weak. There's plenty of other stuff that can be done on rest days but no running! Not worth it - the 3R's rule - rest, recuperate and then relax.
