First week complete. Helped that the sun has been shining. Feeling a bit nervous about stepping up to week 2, but fingers crossed it will go OK!

Looks like a great place to be running.  Well done on getting the first week completed, and don't worry too much about week 2, you'll do great!

Hey, well done - I recognise that view and your name confirms it!  Great work losing the weight and getting well again, it is a long journey, but worth it, especially now the sun is shining (even if that wind is cold).

Week two isn't too bad at all - go for it!

Well if you see someone about struggling with their running, it's probably me! Was very windy along coast this morning, just got to make sure the winds pushing me next time, than running into it :-P

I'm further inland and it was pretty strong here at one point - if I do see you, I will cheer you on!

Well done you!the first week was the hardest so far I think but I am now on week four and surviving! Enjoyed my evening run in the Scottish sun ( and wind ) today.

Well done! I think it's natural to be nervous about week 2, I was terrified at the idea of running for 90 seconds but it's doable. Keep steady, I certainly found I couldn't maintain quite the pace over 90 seconds I'd been able to maintain over 60.

Well done! Week 2 will be fine - it sounds like a big step up but distract yourself looking at your surroundings and each 90 seconds soon goes! Good luck!
