W2R1 - done

Wouldn’t say I nailed it, but I did so much better than I thought I would. And I ran for all the running bits.

Pleased with myself. Stayed on the route I’ve been doing for week 1 (which admittedly is circuits of my own road) just to see how I got on, but it was ok.

I didn’t sweat as much.

I slowed down and my breathing was better.

I got new running shoes

I got new running socks.

I have no blisters.

So onwards and upwards!

Oh wow! So many good news!

Congrats! You are doing great!

Better breathing - great to hear that! Less sweating - improving endurance already ;)

New 'equipment' - wohoo! I hope you are happy with new purchases and even more important - your feet are happy :)

I did my run today as well, I need to write post, as I didn't have time to do it, at least not yet ;)

Well Done Sarah. Keep going,I'm amazed at myself for reaching week 7. The programme is really well structured,it never asks you to do anything you're not capable of achieving.

Not what you're looking for?
