I'm new here 🤗

[Flaraflarkin]

I'm so glad I've found this forum! I've just done my 2nd run of Week4 and very nearly talked myself out of it. I'm finding the 5minutes a real challenge, but some inner strength made me do it! I'm so glad I did! And am looking forward to reading some inspiring posts on here to keep me going! Thank you 😊

Hey Flaraflarkin! I just found the forum too and I'm also at week 4 run 2. I need to have a few days off to let my niggly knees recover so you will probably zoom ahead of me now! Yes it's great to have this forum to keep us motivated 😁

Welcome to you too 😉

Hey Helenofhastings 😊 Hope your knees are ok soon, I need to keep a check on all those niggly bits too - particularly that right hip! 😩 I hit 50 this year so am "at that age" and it doesn't help that I haven't exercised for years! Great to hear that we are running side by side! Keep going 😬

[MutleyShuffle Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

I'm also "at that age", I will be 54 this year, I did a bit of running about 10 years ago but it is harder now - I keep getting sore bits! Oh the joys of middle age! Happy running 😁

Hello and welcome. Everybody finds there specific week challenging, that is until they get to the next week 😉. Trust the program and believe in yourself, you can do this!!!!

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for the encouragement! 😊

[msanni]

Well done and keep going. Soon a 5 minute run will feel like a quick warm-up! 😊

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to msanni]

Yay! Thank you 😊

I'm W7. 25 min runs. This programme gets you there quickly. I love it! 😊

Well done for keeping at it! To encourage you, think that whenever the run feels hard, well, it means you're building up stamina Of course, you should listen to your body and never run in pain: this programme is made for you to enjoy running not to go through sessions of torture. Go slower if you find it hard, and don't worry about the pace: even if your running is slower than your walking, it's still running because your two feet are off the ground

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Anthie]

Sound advice! Thank you 😊

Hi there! Every week is a challenge but then you look back and realise that the earlier weeks would seem easy now. I bet weeks 1 and 2 would be a doddle for you now and in a couple of weeks 5 minutes will be easy. Just stick with it - good luck1

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to sigasiga]

That's a great mindset to have! Thank you 😊
