Just finished wk 5 I was dreading it after the way I struggled with the 1st 2 runs in wk 4 but I did it and I’m over the moon and I honestly found this wk easier than last

Cheers when I started this course I was told running is addictive I’m not at that point yet but it’s a great buzz when you complete a wk

Well Done. Running is absolutely addictive ! I did W5R2 tonight in the evening sunshine. It was just lovely.

I never broke any speed records but honestly found it easier to keep going for 20mins rather than run walk run good luck on Sunday you won’t need it like

Well done, I have just finished week 4 and honestly can’t imagine how I’m going to do any longer than 5 mins , but I will try. When does it become fun. ? Lol.

Not sure about fun lol I was the same as you just completed week 5 and amazed that it wasn't as hard as I'd thought it'd be. Still remember week 1 day 1 and thinking I was going to die!! ,I try to do my local park run every week work permitting and that has definitely spurred me on and dare l say it feels almost like fun 😂 good luck and keep going
