Does it get easier? I’m knackered!

[Wolvesmad Graduate]

Doesn't get easier but doesn't get harder

Pace yourself and do it in your own time not Mo farrah's

If I can do it anyone can

Trust me

Keep it up

Thanks I will

[Ang33333 Graduate]

Yes it does! Find a lovely slow pace that means you can complete all the runs. Enjoy! 😁😁

I guess if it gets too easy it'll stop being a challenge

I dont think it gets easier, i just think your body learns to sustain the hard work for a longer time, resulting in 30 minute runs!

[HATTER8142 Graduate]

Yes it does get easier and actually gets enjoyable as well

[Elralph96]

I feel the same! 😣 did my first one today. Literally could feel my heart hurting 😂🙈

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to Elralph96]

Me too, keep at it. It’ll get easier for us so I’m told!

[Elralph96 in reply to Unfit53]

Keeping everything crossed!! Trying to do it alongside slimming world.. I will lose weight and get fit 😂

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to Elralph96]

Let’s see how we get on, next run Thursday 💪🏻

It definitely does. Don’t be afraid to repeat a week if you have too, it’s not a race. The important thing is that your get there. Not only that but if a fat old bloke in his mid 50’s, like me, can do it so can you.

Yes it does! To add to the other comments - whenever I get lax - I start again and repeat the previous week. This acts as a deterrent but also makes me feel better as I do seem to be better than when I started.

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to JuniperC]

Good idea

[Scarlettbunnykins Graduate]

The first run was definitely the worst as I hadn't run for 20 odd years. I was read, sweaty and knackered. On Week 4 now and look forward to my runs now. It definitely gets easier but does push and challenge you.

*red not read haha

[Unfit53 Graduate in reply to Scarlettbunnykins]

That was me too, red, sweaty & knackered!!

[Scarlettbunnykins Graduate in reply to Unfit53]

And it was after that run that I started running in the morning when no one else was around. Each run seems to get easier. Dunno how but it works! (Though I had a sneaky peek at Week 6 and am now scared!!!)
