Week 2 survivor

[Suew1]

So I have finally managed to complete week 2. Amazing achievement as this is the third time I’ve tried and failed twice. This time I achieved and can only attribute that to my mentor Michael Johnson. I didn’t use the NHS version before so glad I switched. Onwards to week three. We’ve got this Michael let’s rock this joint 🏃🏼‍♀️😀🎉🏅

Well done! 😀 By the way the 'f' word is not allowed here - you didn't fail - you had some practice runs! Good luck with Week 3 - you and Michael have got it covered! 👍

Excellent - positive attitude is everything! 😀

You've got this!! , also you didn't fail twice, they were practice runs, I do them all the time

I repeated week 1 as I wasn’t completing the intervals at first. Not fail. Just pacing ourselves and making sure that def ready to continue so that we can cope with later weeks better. Keep it up, think positive and keep feeling proud of each achievement and milestone. Before you know it we will be completing week 9! Good luck 😁

Yes I realise now I didn’t give myself a day off in between runs so this time I listened and followed the plan and it’s proving the push I need to move on and achieve my goals. Good luck everyone 😀🏅

You are doing so well...we don’t akways have good runs, some are bad but we just bag the distance & stamina & do it again...you will get there,we will all make sure of that...try again & you’ll get a surprise..we’ve all done it & so can you..we just know it!!

Hi Sue, very well done. I was going to say watch out, Mummycav will be along with her soap if you say the “F “word - but I see she has got there before me! But jokes apart, one of the great things about this program is that you don’t need to think in terms of failure at all because even the shortest run/ walk session helps to build your runner’s legs and cardio.

Make sure that you are relaxed, ( I always find that shoulders down and relaxed makes the rest of me relaxed too) and take it really slowly. It is absolutely fine to run at brisk walking pace. 😃
