In week 7 and can’t really believe it.

Well after a very slow start repeating weeks two and three I have been plodding through the programme and today completed wk7 run 2. 25 mins of running seemed a very long way off back in December. I am going very slowly and 5k seems an unachievable dream but I am going to keep the faith and believe it will happen. The hip flexor issue is so much better. It’s a tight muscle that needs stretching but isn’t causing me any inconvenience. The new trainers are working well.

This programme is amazing. Thanks Sarah Millican for keeping me on track - and it’s so helpful reading other people’s stories on here too. Thanks all.

Respect - you are doing week 7, which I can't quite imagine yet (I'm in week 4). I have Sarah Millican as well and she really motivates me!

Good luck with the rest of the programme. I agree - it's amazing.

You’ll be there before you know it. 🏃🏻‍♀️

I trained with Sarah too, and repeated several weeks due to illness breaks, so like you it took me much longer than 9 weeks to graduate. I actually found it easier from week 7 onwards. Partly because I was so much fitter, but mainly because my body preferred slow and constant running to all that stopping and starting 😄

I did the same run last night. Also listening to Sarah. I can’t believe I’ve got this far either!! 25 minutes??? It really did seem unachievable but I’ve done it twice!

Well done you! 😊
