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!

Exactly my thoughts. I plan on writing a post after each run to help with motivation!

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!!
