W2 R1 Done!

I was pretty terrified at the prospect ‘jumping’ from 60 to 90 seconds running (I know that might sound hilarious 😂) but I’ve just come back and completed W2 R1. Another member on here said it was hard but manageable and that’s exactly what I found. The extra 30 seconds walk after each run helped a lot. Thank you for your support after my previous posts - they REALLY helped 😊

I was really nervous too and I found it really quite difficult.. but by run 3 it was easier. Then I was terrified about running for 3 minutes... which was really quite difficult - but I managed it. Not even looking, yet, at what week 4 has in store!
