Well done! I just completed W1R3 and I feel great too! Looking forward to moving up a notch with W2.

Exactly same place and feelings as me. I'm really shocked. The running thing has never been something I wanted to try, I always thought runners were crazy, but I need a new exercise I used to swim but my local pool closed a year ago and the new one is not convenient for me so I've done nothing! I decided that I couldn't knock running until I'd given it a go and as couch to 5k is 9 weeks I commited myself to giving those 9 weeks a shot.

W1R1 was awful, I went too fast and it hurt, I dreaded run 2. But I came on here got some great advice and absolutely loved run 2. I've just set my alarm for 6am tomorrow for run 3 and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope this is the start of a love of running.

Well done you.

I've literally just completed W1R2. I'm pleasantly surprised that it was slightly easier than the first run. Roll on Saturdays run.

Yes the first one was a shock to the system so was also glad to find it easier already after just one run!

I hope it continues to get easier for you and it did for me but don't be surprised if you have the odd bad run.
