Hi! Couldn't run yesterday so I have just completed W1R2. I did it and it wasn't as hard as the first one. Yey. I'm so pleased with myself and I actually enjoyed it! Good luck with your run later 😊. V.

Wow does it get any easier? I am hoping I come to love it and can run off some stress after work. Well done!

Does it get easier? Well after only four runs down, I may not be the best to answer that but I will say, it doesn't seem to get any worse, so I must be improving. I mean, 90 seconds running yesterday, didn't feel any worse than 60 secs last week, so that's progress, yes?

I just finished my second. I thought I was quite fit as I walk quite a lot with my fitbit but running so more difficult even for 60 seconds. Who knew a minute was so long.

Well done. The first run is the hardest, but it sounds like you did brilliant. Happy running and let us know how the next one goes.

I'm hoping the next one is slightly easier and I will be telling the world on Thursday if I complete it 😊

Well done on your first run. Maybe try slowing down a little. It is so easy to start off too fast and then have to take a little break. It's the nerves on the first few runs that have us starting off a little fast. Good luck.

Well done. I'm about to do my first run/walk on the couch to 5k tonight. Very nervous. I can't even run for a bus! Unfortunately every way out of my front door leads to a hill within minutes so it's definitely going to be a challenge but I'm determined. Even bought some hideous pink running trainers.....I must be serious!!! 😁😀😊☺

Let me know how you got on! Pink trainers....you must be determined! 😊

Hello Mrsduck. I'm onto week 1 run 3 tonight. It's going well. Hope all is going well with you too? I never believed I would ever actually look forward to going out for a run!!!!! 😊

Going great. Ran a lot further than on the previous two. A bit nervous about week 2 run 1 but I'm going to give it my best shot on Thursday. New trainers will make a difference I'm sure. Keep it going you are doing great. ☺
