I only bloomin' well did it. :) I'm SURE Laura said there's 7x 60 seconds, not 8. But anywaaaaay... I did it. All of 'em, the whole 60 seconds of each burst. Nearly staggered and cried at the end of each one but carried on regardless. Considering I fell in a big. Pile of cow Pooh and wee about 2 and a half minutes into the warm up and had to run with a very smelly, soggy trainer.... Well pleased. Lol

2 days ago I couldn't do one 60 second burst. Go figure. Next "run" on Sunday. Leaving shoes outside, hope there's heavy rain tonight. Lol

Well done you!

Sounds like you had a brilliant run, apart from the cow poo. We may get chased by geese up here in North London, but at least we don't have that to contend with.

Well done for keeping going after that, and enjoy the next run.

Congrats, you've done the hardest bit, you got off the couch and embarked on this fantastic, life changing journey. You will encounter obstacles along the way, smelly trainers are the least challengingly; follow the programme ' in a routine that suits you ' and always think positively and you will succeed. And treat yourself to a brand new ' of odour free !!!! ' RUNNING shoes.

❤️💪🏼Yay well done 💪🏼❤️
