Take your time. Forget anything thing to do with speed. When I first started I thought as running as going as fast as you could but you'll see going slow and setting a pace will get you through this 9 week challenge. Also don't get down hearted. You miss a run... so what, just make sure you don't miss the next. Don't finish a run and give up... it don't matter... just last a bit longer on your next try. It can take long than 9 weeks and as hard as it looks, if you take your time and go slow you'll smash this.

Yer I’m trying to set a steady pace but sometimes I do speed off and get slower as I go along, just need to master my breathing. Thank you 😊
