If Granny can do it....

Hi! I expect you have done the run by the time you read this, but I just wanted to say that I repeated week 1, as I was so unfit and out of condition (I am a 67 year old Granny!) But although 90 secs seemed an impossibility, Week 2 actually did not present any difficulty (apart from jogging uphill) so the programme really works and it is well worth sticking with it. My goal is a ParkRun with three athletic daughters, all of whom are encouraging me to the hilt.

Best of luck!

Go Granny go go go!

Bet you feel better already :-)

When my nine year old said to me "It's great that you are going out, Mom, I'm really proud of you," I swelled up to an enormous extent with pride, so I can only imagine how having three daughters helping you on would be!
