Wk5 run 2

So today I managed run 2 of wk 5. I can’t believe it was just a few weeks ago when it felt like a huge achievement to run for 60 secs and today I ran for 5 minutes - twice! I still can’t envisage ever being able to run for 30 minutes but I will keep on with the programme and see what happens! If I can do this anyone can. I’m 58 and haven’t run at all since childhood due to a hip problem. In fact when I started this I wasn’t even sure how to run! But I had a shiny new hip some years ago and now I’m running! Amazed.

Brilliant stuff. 🙂🙂🙂

A few weeks ago, it was an achievement to run 60 seconds but now you're over half way. Don't fear run 3, your ready for it, that's the beauty of the programme.

I found this anonymous quote "What seems hard now will one day be your warm-up."

Smash the run and then let us know.

That is a great quote John!

And well done Sprinkler for getting this far. 👍
