Well done! Keep at it! The program won't push you further than you can go. By week 5 it's all in the mind.

Good luck!

Great job. You may not be the fittest, but you got through it, and it is a shock to the system. Enjoy the next week... that fitness will come faster than you think.

Thanks! Can’t imagine getting to 5k but I’m sure I’ll get there x

Yeah, you will!

First mission is get to 30 minutes, which you will. At that stage if you haven’t hit 5k, you’re capable of extending the run to get it. 5k is a long way if you’ve not run 400 yards in years, or indeed ever, but it is achievable.

You say you're not the fittest but I'll guarantee one thing: you're fitter than you were a week ago. That's why you can now go on to week 2.

Ha, that’s actually quite reassuring! I might use that as my motto at the end of every week

No one is fit when they start this. I am a snail, slow and steady I'll never win the race but I'll keep going until I finish. Mellow out, take it slow and enjoy, it's the best thing you'll ever do. Good luck 🀞 😊
