Week 2

[Hairdresser18]

So tonight is my first run of week 2 and I’m dreading it but hopefully it all goes ok. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it greatly. Thankyou

Go nice and slow. You can do this. They may be longer runs, but there’s less of them, it seemed to pass a lot faster to me.

Take your time, slow and steady, don’t try to break any records just keep a nice slow steady pace!

Thankyou I’m dreading it but I’m glad I managed to complete week 1

I've mentioned this before but, if you're using the app, the coach voice of Laura is excellent. She's not long achieved all this herself so she's well placed to talk you through it. I avoided the famous names as I felt no connection with them.

Very important to treat this as a good thing you're doing for yourself. Not something to dread but a moment in your life where you take control of something for yourself.

Try to look forward to the feeling of achievement you get at the end of each successfully completed session.

You can do this! Good luck

Hi Hairdresser! Well done getting to W2 - you’ve already completed the hardest week! 👏👏👏

You’ll get sick of these words “just stay slow and steady”, but they’re oh so useful!

W2 and beyond will be yours for the taking if you think of snails and watch them whizz past you. 🐌🐌 No need for speed in this programme. 👍

Good luck - don’t forget to let us know how you fare! You’ll ace W2, just wait and see! 😀

Take it slow, breath in time with your steps 😀
