I have done it. I began feeling very surprised that I could actually keep up the running part for 60 seconds. In saying that the last couple of runs felt harder but I knew I had to keep going as I'd come so far already. Feeling great. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I took you all with me in my head and your words kept me going ☺🏃

Well done. You do feel good when the run is completed and rightly so because its a great achievement. Its true, the support from people on here gives you extra determination to carry on!

Okay... well done!!!

You are on the way!

You run for 60 seconds and it is wonderful... just think how you feel when you are running for thirty minutes? Yes, you will do it!

Keep it slow, keep it steady, take your rest days, with some strength and flex exercise on those days too, if possible..heed the advice and support on the forum, ( which is so supportive,) and listen to your body too. It is great for telling you what's happening!

Keep going. There is a magic that will happen. Eventually, you will be running along, thinking of something else, and suddenly realise that your body is moving easily and freely without you having to do anything much about it. It takes me now about five minutes after I start to get into that groove, but earlier it took a good 10 minutes of huffing and puffing. So it might start happening somewhere around week six. And the bottom line is, even when it is tough and a struggle, you do this for 1.5 hrs a week, plus another 30 minutes warm up and cool down. 2 hrs of the week and the benefits are amazing.

So good to hear about the huffing and puffing 😊
