Must admit on my first run. 5th Jan 2018 I honestly thought I would have given up by now. I know, I know not a good attitude to start with.... But.... I'VE ONLY MADE IT TO BLOODY WEEK 5! Feel amazing. Ok the 8 minute run for the next one can't say I'm looking forward to the actually run. But I am looking forward to completing it! woohoo

Hi Sarah. I’ve done an extra week4 run today and like yourself I never thought I would be running. Now, as soon as see the track I can’t wait to get on it. My W5R1 will be on Sunday or Monday. I have always believed that I could it and love getting out there. Congratulations on your achievement. 👍

Monday I think. It looks a bit daunting when I look at it but I thought that about this week and I did it. 😀

Brilliant. Well done Sarah. After week 5 you will be beyond the half way mark. You will be well able for 8 mins, and in another few weeks you will be just warming up at 8 mins. Keep going. One run at a time.
