And very well done. Just keep the runs slow and then slower, the first week I imagined I needed to run like a greyhound 😂 but advice here was slow it all down and that worked for me. I bet you feel great though, looking forward to hearing how your next run goes

I’ve just finished week 1 and found the third run a whole lot easier. There was almost no swearing!!
