Well I am up to week 5 and it is the mental hurdle that I find difficult. I want to run but don't want it to be such hard work. I know that I will eventually get there but I am an impatient person that just wanst to run and enjoy it.

This forum is what keeps me going to the end goal.

Thank you all/

Week 5 was a tough one for many in here...mentally more than physically, although I know it's tiring too but the programme is designed to make us push ourselves & that means tiredness...if the programme was a breeze we wouldn't really get anywhere, so, the best thing to do is go as slow as you can, listen to your body & enjoy the run...you'll be passed Week 5 before you know it & be surprised at how far you've come...shoulders back, head up & keep running!!! 🏃🏼‍♀️👍🏻
