W4, R1 🙌🏼

I never, ever, ever thought I would enjoy running...... but it’s fantastic! I have been dreading the step up to the 5min runs but I actually felt calm and comfortable, I am totally amazed at my abilities and the progression of the programme which really does work. I hope I won’t be eating my words next week!

Slow and steady and you will revel in the runs to come

It’s an amazing plan isn’t it!? 5 minute runs this week. 20 mins at the end of the next.,and that 20 mins is totally doable. Good luck!

Brilliant!

It is always great to read this sort of post.

There does come a time when you do just settle in and enjoy it.

I love that sunset.

Found week 3 a bit of a challenge but kinda looking forward to week 4. Inspiring to hear you found the 5 mins ok 👍🙂

[JoOnTheRun Graduate in reply to Chrisj31]

I too found some of the 3 min runs in week 3 quite hard going so I was very apprehensive about week 4. I always find the first run a bit challenging but then I settle into it. Wishing you lots of luck with the plan 👍🏼

I was completely knackered by the end of W4R1. But didn't stop me grinning like a fool tho

its amazing isn't it - just done W4R2 and in the second 5 minute run I started to feel calm and like I could go on and on....

[JoOnTheRun Graduate in reply to Ang62]

Congratulations! It’s a wonderful feeling! Long may it continue! Good luck with your running 🏃🏼‍♀️ 💪🏼

[Ang62 Graduate]

Thank you and good luck to you too 😊

I did my 1st week 4 run yesterday. It’s a testament to the programme and this forum that I actually managed it. It’s a fab feeling isn’t it? Well done us 👏😂

[JoOnTheRun Graduate]

Congratulations! Couldn’t agree more! Woohoo!! 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️Good luck with your running.

I did the first W4R1 today, was dreading it, thinking I couldn't do it , it was all in the head as I did it. My legs had gone for the last minute of the last 5 min run but I didn't give up. I was shattered at the end but well worth it.

[JoOnTheRun Graduate]

Fantastic! Well done 👍🏼
