Week 4. Run 1

[Clairecandothis]

Wow I ran for 5 minutes! 🤗😃🤗😃🤗😃🤗 Apparently 16 minutes in all. It is amazing to think at the start of January 60 seconds was too long and I was out of puff after, and now when the lovely Sarah Milligan tells me I only have 1 minute left of my 3 minute run it feels doable! 5 minutes wasn't easy but it wasn't a complete struggle either. I love this. I'm so chuffed I did 5 minutes. I can now sign up for my virtual 2k or 5k run in April and raise some money for Kicks count too. 🤗🤗😊😊

That’s awesome! I love reading these posts as I can’t imagine how I’ll manage the weeks ahead but I’m determined!! It’s great to see others achieving what they didn’t think they would do- it inspires me massively!!

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to Seasidepanda]

Hello. I love I'm inspiring you lol. I'm inspired by others ahead of me too! In a few weeks it'll be you doing this post inspiring someone new. 😊 I'm loving it x

I've got W4R1 tomorrow so your post is very timely for me. I'm looking forward to it even more now.

You can do it Joe. Each week is preparing you for the following week. I do believe come March I will be running 5K. Keep at it. 👍

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Perfect timing! Enjoy it. The buzz I had at running 5 minutes is still with me at the end of my day! 😊 x

[Jude1963 Graduate]

On week 4 too. Go Claire!! 👍🏼

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to Jude1963]

We'll be on week 9 before we know it! X

[Scouser67 Graduate]

As each week goes by I think to myself I can do this. I have got the running bug and enjoy it. We can do it. 👍

[Clairecandothis Graduate in reply to Scouser67]

Yes I'm trusting it too. 3 minutes wasn't so hard but last week it was tough. It is amazing how quickly we make progress. 😊 x

[DeterminedBear Graduate]

Well done. Your post reflects how I felt yesterday on doing W4R1. There is something so true about the programme! Good luck with the forthcoming weeks.

You're the same week as me - and that's just how I felt too! (And I have Sarah too). I've just done Week 4 run 2, and the 5 minutes was still tough, but it felt great to have done it! Great cause too - well done x

Thank you. I love Sarah, she's fab! X
