Well that was tougher than I thought. W1R2. I expected it to be a bit easier as R1 wasn’t too bad. I am 15.5 stone and 55yrs old and need to do this for me so I will persevere with it and keep my mind in the prize.

But my fur baby enjoyed it!!!!

Well done for starting the programme! You've done the worst bit. When I was on week 1 I found R2 harder that R1. R3 was easier again though - so things will get better! Onward & upward. You got this. Good luck.

Hi I’m on week 2 run 2 tomorrow- I’m 51 and enjoying it but it’s far from easy! I liked Jo Wiley’s comment that it’s good to keep telling yourself you love running- look around and admire the view. It helped! Good luck!
