W2r2

A nice early start today. I felt confident goung out. The first 2 runs were ok the next 3 felt long and did get me tired but the last one was good. My end walk was brisker than I've managed up to now so I'm taking that as a sign that I am adjusting and building on what I've done so far.

Happy that I'm still keeping up 😊

Well done x Early start too!

Keep going, it does get easier, I'm on wk4 now and found the earlier weeks harder probably because I was so unfit.

And loving it x

Never ever thought I'd enjoy it so much, another great side effect of C25k

I'm trying not to think ahead but that's really good to know. Well done for getting to week 4 😊

You are... and you are getting there! Well done!

Take the programme, steadily... that is what it is for; to take you step by step, to where you want to be. Building up, just as you are finding now!

As you move through, there will be times when you find it hard, also times when you think, wow, this is coming along, also, maybe, times when you may think... what the heck!

But, it was designed to help you succeed, not to fail. It is well structured and it works.

I guess, from reading posts, that it does not suit some folk and does not move fast enough, but for me, and loads of a similar mind set, it did and does. Knowing there is no fail.. knowing that if you follow through, however slow your pace, was reassuring for me... and I did it. I even finished up running the last week's 30 mins at 5K...Totally unexpected!

So... go you, you are building up, and soon you will be looking back amazed at yourself!!! Brilliant!

"Some people dream of success, while some people, ( like you :)) wake up. and work hard at it!"

PS

Well impressed at your early start... I love them!

Thank you.

I do feel more relaxed about the program because everyone has said I can always repeat a week if I need to and I can go at my own pace as slowly as I need to so knowing that is priceless.

Thank you for your support 😊

You are very welcome...I am still getting loads of support as I continue my running journey, as well as motivation from folk like you, up and coming!
