Week 2 Run 1 - I'm actually enjoying this!

[fluffyowl89]

So after repeating the week 1 run five times until I could actually manage to do the whole thing, I decided it was time to move on to week 2 today. I completely surprised myself by managing to do it all the first time without too much trouble. When I look back on where I was when I started a few weeks ago, it's staggering really that I can actually do this. And more importantly, I'm actually enjoying it! I don't have to build myself up to going out; I'm ready and raring to go when it's my run day. I even had to force myself to not go out running on my rest day yesterday. I even missed it when I wasn't able to go out this weekend as I was away on a Guiding weekend! I kinda wish I'd decided to do this sooner now!

Hopefully I can help motivate some newbies to get up and do it, particularly if anyone is plus size like me!

Glad you're enjoying it. You sound as excited as I was when I did week 2. I'm sure my friends are fed up on me banging on about it now hehe but it's such a great buzz I think everyone should try it! I did my first week 4 run the other day and couldn't believe I managed to get to the end OK. It really does sneakily build up your stamina. Well done and keep going

It's a great program and it's surprising how quickly the program will bring you along. Trust it and you will amaze yourself!

Scary isn't it! I've never ever had the willingness to do running and how it gets me out of bed at 6:30am every other morning I really don't know! Glad you're enjoying it and don't get tempted to run on a rest day find something else you could do instead, take a walk somewhere maybe.

Well done! Even after a couple of weeks of running you will have come so far beyond what you were like before. I know what you mean about "wish I'd decided to do this sooner" - I feel the same!

I know exactly what you mean! I've just completed Week 4 and even ran on the two days I was working in London this last week! It's great, isn't it!

Brilliant news! It's an extraordinary programme isn't it? And success breeds success. Well done and keep going!

I have to say I was exhausted last night as we went for a walk in the woods with Brownies yesterday evening. Was glorious weather, but I certainly felt the run and walk in my legs afterwards!
