I did it!! I found this quite a bit harder than the first week which obviously I was supposed too but I completed it and I feel great!! I am going to treat myself to a arm strap so i don't have to hold my phone when I have completed this week! The after effects of the run are getting better and better too!! Happy Monday :-)

Thank You :-D

Well done Hattie 27! Happy Monday. Yep you've taken a step up but it does feel good doesn't it?! by R3 you'll be ready to move up again. Just keep doing what you're doing. If you need a makeshift option until you get your phone armband this is what I've been using:

Going to treat myself and upgrade the old sock at some point...

but it does work very well...!

Well done. Best tips on here are to stick with the app and keep it slow. Keep it going!

Thank you! I am focusing on keeping it slow but sometimes it feels like I walk faster than I run!

Me too! I was amazed at how hard it was to run for another 30 seconds, I must be so unfit. My back is twinging a bit now though, but I’ve rubbed on Voltarol & hopefully it will go away before Thursday & my next run.
