I’ve been dreading this week! I kept waking up last night wondering whether I should repeat week 3 for a second time instead of moving to week 4, but I pushed myself to try, and I’ve done it!!

It’s nearly killed me, but I didn’t stop. Ok, so I may have slowed right down in the second 5 minute run, but I still did it. Can’t say I’m looking forward to the second run, but at least I know it can be done!

Its an emotional journey! I cried the whole way through my first 20 minute run, nervous, excited, disbelief at what I was doing and what it might lead to 😁

Same here. Tomorrow should be the coldest day of the week. 3 minutes of W3 were as forever for me. But 2x 5min and 2x 3min... I can not imagine... :-|
