There’s me thinking it was going so well, pleased with my efforts so far up to week 4. So tonight came week 4 run 1, wow it was a tough one. Running for a total of 16mins how am I ever going to get to running for 30mins. Onwards and upwards #amknackered

You’ll be fine! As the intervals get longer, slow down more. Well done!

The runs in week 4 are a fair bit harder than week 3. You can do this.

Well done! Just think how 16 minutes of running would have sounded to you three weeks ago tho. You've come a long way!!

Good for you! I'm now starting to wonder about my scheduled start to W4 on Saturday. Just the last run of W3 tomorrow and nursing a sudden heavy head cold. Urghh.

Don’t put it off keep going you will be fine. I do think run one is always tough.

My thoughts exactly! I did W4r2 today and I am honestly shocked how much harder it is and wondering whether I have peaked!!!! Where will I find breath and energy to run for longer? 🤪

I feel for you, I'm on w4, r2 was easier I must say but r3 is still a challenge. Good luck and well done.

I’m in W4 too. The first 5 minutes was a real challenge but I’ve done it and knowing you can makes subsequent ones easier. Still doesn’t stop me praying for Michael to tell me I can stop!!!
