Did my first run of week 4 yesterday and was really chuffed to complete it at the first attempt, never ever ran that long before. Face looked like a beetroot when I had finished but who cares I did it!!

Exactly! Hold that thought!

Well done. Keep progressingly STEADILY through the runs. Slow but sure is the mantra

Thanks for that, I really got a buzz when I finished.

Ah ha! That's the buzz we're looking for. If you got that then you've got the bug. No stopping you now

Just a word of caution. Take it slow, take it steady, just run/walk when Laura tells you to and stop when you should. Running faster, longer, further is off limits to you til you're built up for it. We don't want to read that you crocked your ankle/knee/hip/leg blah blah. We want to hear that you graduated injury free

So, go out there, nail those runs and have FUN!

Thanks for the encouragement and the good advice.

well done you, slow and steady is definitely the way, I am sure the beetroot look is a good one on you.

Not sure about the beetroot look it clashes with my pink t shirt lol!!

Not what you're looking for?
