Good luck ShufflyPrickles - the plan really works! I had never run before I started and I’m at be end of week 8. You’ll catch the bug I’m sure

Good luck - this running lark becomes quite addictive😊

I finished on Friday.

Just go slow, and then slower than slow as the running intervals get longer, and you'll be fine. It doesn't matter if you run slower than you walk, it's the running motion you want in order to train and strengthen the right muscles.

Thank you :-). I'm excited and nervous. Hope the hot hot weather stays away now - and it gets dark in the evenings, like tomorrow :-)!

Trust the programme and enjoy the feeling after you've run....its amazing. I was one of those 'oh I cant run' people but guess what im on week 9 and I can run....very slowly😌. Go for it. 👍
