Well I’m pleased to say I did it. Never would I have thought that six weeks ago I would be running for five minutes three times, six weeks ago I would only have been running if I was being chased by a pack a pack of wild dogs and let’s be honest I wouldn’t have been able to run far because back at the start of week one the sixty second runs were a killer lol.

This has really started to change my mindset I make sure I hydrate every day, and I used to think tea was a better version of water, I’m thinking about what I’m eating and even get excited over a trip to sports direct what has happened and long may it last.

We can do this, hard I came home and didn’t want to sit for the rest of the evening as I was unsure I would get up again😄 I’m a bit worried about the next one but will dig deep and crack on with it although I do feel at times I could walk faster then I run lol.
