I started on Friday! Legs were sore on Sat but I completed R2 on Sunday no problem! As I'm 53 & overweight I feel great to have started - hope to keep it up 😊

Welcome to the best running group in the world.... Blimey you got one of the worst weather weeks to start this. So if you work your way through this week, there’ll be no stopping you

I am new today! Found the last 2 60 sec runs the hardest. Running with my dog to train for the Muddy Dog Challenge. She LOVED it. Will do our 2nd run on Thursday. 😊
