Week 4 completed today, nearly half way there now. Onto week 5 and the big challenge that is run 3, bring it on. If (when) that’s completed I will believe I can do this.

If you’ve completed week 4, you can do this. Run 2 of week 5 is the midpoint of the programme. Think how far you’ve come.

Thanks Jay, I am determined to get there only problem is there is a lot more running in the second half than the first

And you are a lot fitter than you were, and you will be even fitter when you reach them.

I barely managed W1R1 in late March and same through all of the first few weeks. I now run for pleasure two 4ks and a 5k each week. Others much more.

Run and pleasure are not two words I would use together at the moment but hopefully I will soon

It will come. Or it won’t. I hope it does.

You can do it. Kick those nagging doubts out and believe in yourself, oh and smile 🙂.

Thanks for the encouragement, smiling and running are not two things I seem to be able to do at the same time but I will try

It's not my brain that's the problem, it's my legs which start to ache and tell me they have had enough while I am putting my trainers on!!!!!!!!!
