W2R2 oh hell!!

I have discovered I don’t have half as much energy for an evening room as I do at any other time of the day!

My legs felt a little jelly like and the first half particularly was tough tonight but I did it, and felt really good for sticking it out.

It’s funny but all the way round the run I’m thinking I’ll make this run as only a slight smiley face😐, but the second it’s done I feel so glad that it gets the full toothed grin😀

Only one more run of week 2 left and I’m not sure how I feel about it getting a little harder the run after next!😶

Good job. And you learned something about yourself which is always a plus. Don’t worry about the run after next, you’ll be ready to beat it.

Well done. I’m on week 4 and reading it when I started I thought ‘No way’ but the program works 👍🏼

An evening ROOM,hmmm, that's a new one for me, of course, that should be run, you will enjoy your next room, sorry, run.

Well done for getting through. Takes real determination with jelly legs! I will also say the same thing everyone else has said - don’t worry about week 3! I was really dreading starting it today but it looks so much worse on page than it turns out to be. You can do it x

Not what you're looking for?
