Week 2 underway...

Having taken 2 weeks to complete W1, I've just done W2R1. Definitely felt the step up with the longer runs, but it was manageable at a very steady (=slow) pace. Feeling quite pleased with that, and looking forward to a rest tomorrow!!

WeLl done PruesDad. W2R2 just completed. Definitely feel more like a runner 🏃. I know 90 seconds is not that long but given I have never run for more than about 10 seconds at a time in my whole life, made me feel like a hero! We can do this!

Well done, trust in the programme, take it slow and steady and you will be at 30 minutes before you know it 🏃

Slow and steady is very good...you are right to be pleased 👍just getting those runs under your belt is what is important... "Couch to 30 mins" would be a more appropriate title but I guess C25K looks better...

If at any point you're struggling on a run, try and slow it down further... My fast jog is just over walking speed... I can easily get left behind by taller walkers...

Take it gently, be positive and trust in the programme... You will get there.

The important thing is to enjoy it. No 90 seconds isn't a long time, but 5k isn't that far when compared to a marathon.

But we are only challenging ourselves, and those runs are more than you have ever done before, so be proud!
