Well week 6 complete and according to Laura we are now runners ( even though I'm more of a woddler lol ) was tough though but enjoyable at the same time . 25 min non stop did not seem a reality when we started this but it's absolutely bonkers how this program builds you up to it without you really noticing . I'm really looking forward to the challenge of week 7 bring it on .

I agree love the program. I’m starting week 3 tomorrow and can’t wait. It’s amazing that I run 90s. Unsure about 3 minutes but can’t wait

We are starting week 3 this afternoon. I am scared/excited and a bit nervous too! Will be so chuffed if we do it! Good luck this week! x

I am also starting W3 tomorrow. I really can’t believe I ran 90s during week two. Don’t think w3 is going to be easy but I’m going to give it my best.

Enjoy and trust the program guys. And most importantly enjoy the journey. This is one of the most enjoyable and self rewarding things I have done for years and I'm quite sad I only have 9 runs to graduate which at the start I thought was going to be impossible. But I'm so looking forward to the new life style I am creating xxx
