am starting to get a bit nervous about the coming weeks running for 90 seconds is one thing but I'm guessing I'm heading for 2 and then 3 minutes which I honestly can't imagine, although my new running socks should be delivered today whooooooooooppp :)

Your new socks will put the wind under your heels Tiara!!!!

Don't worry about any of your runs. Line em up, knock em down, tick em off.

The programme is designed specifically to move you on so you are ready for the next one. It's very clever so trust in it!

If you go slowly there is nothing to fear. Give yourself a little pep talk before you start the session, put a big smile on your face and go for it. Enjoying it is half the battle

Don't doubt yourself. You can do this. You will do this. COME ON!!! Yeeeeha!

It's a scientifically proven fact that new socks are capable of enabling you to be able to run for two minutes. In fact, add any new kit to your running arsenal and the world is your lobster :D

You'll be fab!!

Maybe trust the process a bit more and stop terrifying yourself looking ahead so much?! I just take it as it goes. You can't prepare for how you will physically feel while actually doing the running, so much of it is just your body doing things naturally, and your mind supporting it in doing that. The process will hopefully give you a new zen outlook, which you can bring back into everyday life too :)

One run at time and trust me you will be able to do it!!

It starts so innocently with socks be careful its a slippery slope :)
