Wouldn’t have believed that was possible!

W4R1 in the bag, a day later than planned but it’s done with no real physical issues, only head gremlins telling me “no way can you do this”. MJ is getting me through this, he’s fab and I feel great 👍🏻 🏃🏻‍♀️

I feel like I’d be letting MJ down if I caved!

You won’t cave, you get a buzz doing it. I’m nearly at the end of week 6 now. Some days I don’t really feel like going out but I’m never regretted it when I do, always feel better for it.

I did W4R1 today too! I think it was more of a leap in my head than in reality?

Each week seems like a big step up but we’ve got to believe in the programme and in ourselves. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done ! I did the same run this morning and like you, I found fighting the gremlins to be the hardest part.

Now we know we can do it, hopefully the head gremlins will go ... until W5! Good luck.
