Week4r2 done tonight. My motto throughout has been not too look too far ahead. Have accidently read some of the week 5 posts. Panice setting in. Havnt told my running partner friend as she has no idea what is happening week to week and just folows my lead. I might put her of fforever !!!

Nowhere near as bad as it might sound, as you will find out. You will explode full of pride when you complete the longer run and you won't want to stop. Enjoy the transformation :-)

You and me both. I finished w4R2 tonight which was right at the limit of my ability and know what is coming in only 4 runs time! My only comfort is plenty before us have mastered it and to be fair if I don't its not the end of the world, I will just keep doing the week until I do. I am delighted to have got this far without a fail and I am sure you are just as pleased with yourself. Who know swhat next Friday will bring.

Good luck with the next 3 runs and then we will both be ready for THE BIG ONE.

Don't think about it! Your approach is right. Just do what Laura says and keep putting one foot in front of the other! She's managed to get thousands of us through it!

You'll be just fine. Always keep it slow. You'll amaze yourself, it's the most satisfying run of the program. It seems crazy, but you'll have done all the hard work by then.

Nah, you will be ok. You will find that every previous runs were easier then you thought and wonder what the fuss was all about. Just prod along as I do and it will get you there.you will surprise yourself

Get ready to have the biggest grin you will have had for years! Trust Laura and the program. If you have completed the previous runs you are physically ready for this one. Start slow. If you need to, go even slower. This is all about letting yourself succeed - keep putting one foot in front of the other. Let us know how you get on.
