just going to say it again weeeek 8 eek. The run was good and I felt comfortable even the hills and pleased with myself. Just got to get over the run 2 hurdle. But for the first time ( injury excluding) I have had the feeling that I am going to do this😊 no problem!

Well done you!!! I'm at the same point. Exciting that we're so close, isn't it?!

Well done! We're at the same point - my W8R2 is in the morning. I feel the same way too; that I really can do this. I used to read posts by other people and always doubted I could finish or even get half way through the programme, but the sound advice and encouragement on this forum make you believe in yourself and your capabilities. My husband and family are proud of me and amazed I can run for half an hour! (I'm amazed too) !!! Good luck with the last few runs, we're almost there! 😉👍👍👍

Excellently well done. And that 'I will do this' feeling is well deserved - you have paid for it over 8 weeks of quite gruelling work - well done.

Thankyou everyone is very encouraging and supporting at every stage of this and suddenly you start feeling the way people in previous post have commented on and you think hey thus is really working. Anyone starting just take it one run at a time it works😊
