Well done for getting to W4, you're doing great!

Keep smiling, keep running, you can do it.

Good luck and happy running!

Thank you xxx

Blimey a message from beyond the grave ;)

Obviously it didn’t quite take your last breath, so very well done you on getting it done. The hard fought battles (and runs) are the ones you remember.

Good luck and happy running for your next one.

You can do this! If you need to, you can always repeat a run or an entire week. I did both, many times, and managed to graduate, eventually. xo

Very well done! In the interest of staying alive, slow down even more! πŸ˜€

It's good that you can see that for yourself. There is research which shows that slow running is good for us! ( Just as well, I will always be a snail 🐌!) You can always choose to think about speed and pace later on when you have finished the program. πŸ˜„

I’ll slow it down tomorrow, you’re right I need to get in the habit of running before thinking about how fast I go πŸ™„πŸ™„ xx we can be snails 🐌 together x

I did W4 R1 tonight & I really didn't think I'd be able to do the 5 mins...but I did...(just).... R2 on Wed, as my legs need at least a days rest. x
