Welcome Anny, and kudos to you for being epic. 👏👏👏👏

You’ve made the right decision starting this programme, as it’s a challenging yet gentle way to increase strength and stamina. Also, don’t get hung up on the 5k part. The goal is to be running for 30 minutes 3 times a week. Distance comes over time. 😀 You’ll grow to respect snails (unless you’re a natural gazelle) and if you’re ever struggling, slow right down and let the 🐌🐌 zip past you.

Mostly, have tons of fun and report back here whenever you like. It’s the friendliest forum ever! ❤️🏃‍♀️😀

Wow - you are an inspiration! I'm sure you will enjoy the running.

Wow thank you very much for the reponses!! We completed wk3 r1 yesterday and very proud, considering i couldn't even walk up the stairs 3 months ago without getting out of breath due to chemo. Cant say i am enjoying it at the moment but i am enjoying the feeling afterwards. I used to run 5k last year without stopping so my fitness has really took a battering. Iam trying to raise awareness of inflammatory breast cancer which is what i had, so if anyone has instagram please have a look at my blogs instagram.com/anny2424 thank you so much xx
