Just would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who commented on my W1R1 post. So much inspiration and advice. I was adamant I'd gone slowly enough, but enough of you spoke about speed being an issue, I would have been foolish to ignore you all.
I went comfortably slow, relaxed my shoulders, looked ahead and was surprised to find that I knew instantly that this run would be a success! I wasn't desperatly waiting for the coach to tell me to walk, in fact I was surprised at how quickly the 60secs passed! I had energy left in the tank, whilst still being satisfyingly sweaty with elevated heart rate. .... And I feel really refreshed. Enjoyed myself! Shocked. 😂
Thanks so much.... And if anyone yet to start, or just finished a horrendous first run, is reading this..... Slowly slowly. 😁

Well done. Your doing great. Keep up the good work. It will get easier I promise xx
Yes! Slow and steady is definitely the way. If you're struggling or getting out of breath, just slow down, even if it's just to a walking pace, so long as you're still technically running, it's all good.
Congratulations on completing the second run of this week. People underestimate how tough week 1 is. You're getting used to doing something new, whilst your body is probably screaming at you to stop, and week 1 in particular has so many intervals, stop-start all the time. So you are doing great, trust me.
fabulous! Well done! Now if we could change the banner photo to your quote "I was adamant I'd gone slowly enough..." keep it up all through week 1 and beyond!
What I found is that my mental strength increased massively, whereas in the early weeks I would be tempted to stop(and occasionally did) in later weeks I was much more determined to keep going and did so, it’s a fantastic programme, keep going and keep posting
