W1R2

Just completed my second run again I feel amazing. I took everybody's advice and tried not to focus on my breathing, slowed down and concentrated on the music and... it worked!! I completed this run with ease so I am feeling really positive :-). I also downloaded some of my favourite songs and found it really good for my wellbeing to focus on that. Feeling set for my 12 hour shift later. YAY!

Hi Hattie27, I repeated W1D1 this morning as I didn’t complete it Monday, I managed today so i was so pleased.

I too have done the same as you, favourite songs and slowing down 😃

Well done..!!!!

How did you find it? I am glad I have started doing it when the weather is cooling down!

I found Monday, my first one crippling lol, but today was a little better, not easy though. I’ll keep going though, I want to do this big time, at 48 I want to get fitter and slimmer, better late than never lol

I really want to do it too. I am doing slimming world and have got a bit stuck and my job I am quite stagnant so feel that introducing running will help. I also quite enjoy it and want to be better. We can do this!!
