Just completed W1R3

Much better this time - took it a bit slower - still hard but not gasping for breath. Legs not as sore afterwards either.

Bit apprehensive about W2 but going to give it my all :) xx

Hi Kathy

"Bit apprehensive about W2" - is exactly how I felt, and I still managed it. I'm just about to start Week 5 and I'm a bit apprehensive too! The programme seems to be very well designed to build up your stamina (and self-belief) gradually.

Give Week 2 a go and you will surprise yourself. Very best of luck and do report back.

Well done, it's usually easier than you think it will be. Good luck for Saturday 👍😁

I feel apprehensive about every week 😂, but trust the program and believe in yourself! I've just completed W5R2 and just like yourself probably never thought it would be possibly during W1!

You can do it, start slow and stay slow throughout! Speed can come later. Good luck runner 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻
