Just about to do W1 R2 for the second time, really struggled with week one first time so thought I'd repeat.

Not done any exercise for years and have about 5 stone to lose.

Think I'll be ready to get on to W2 now, I'm getting there, just need to keep this determination going.

You're right, there is no hurry to get through the programme. Just do it for you in your own time. You sound determined so keep at it. Well done for starting and getting the first run done. That's the hardest IMO!

Hi thanks, did W1 R2 again last night and it felt so good. I can actually run for a minute solid. Bring on W2 now.

Thanks even after 2 weeks I can feel slightly improved fitness. Onwards and upwards.
