Good luck! I think the first week is the hardest and from there it’s all upwards so stay with it. 👍🏼

No luck needed! Trust the program and trust in yourself!! I’ve just started week 7 and ran 25 minutes today! I could barely run a minute in week 1! Xx

I started in September having not run before. It’s a great programme. Just take us slow and steady and follow the runs in order. You’ll love it 😀

Thank you for all the likes and encouraging comments...it was a very dull dark wet day.....but I ran....the last minute's run was almost in slow motion but did it....very happy....will keep reporting progress.

Slow motion is good- snails rock! 🐌

Plenty of time for getting faster in the future!

I no longer fear being overtaken by dog walkers, as I did in the first 3 weeks- ( glad to say it never actually happened) and yesterday for the first time I saw slower runners than me.

See, even this late 50s snail is getting faster ( by W9)!!!😂
