I’m on the 2x8 this afternoon looking forward to it ,the big one on Friday I’m more nervous about going to take it really slow. We can do it!

It's a bit daunting . Will need a good playlist.

Great job... these intervals set you up for that 20... don’t fear it... relax, trust the plan and tell yourself that you can do it. It’s nowhere near as hard as it appears... you can do it.

Well done.

Heavy legs can be a symptom of poor hydration. You need to drink an absolute daily minimum of two litres, preferably heard three if exercising, as described in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Don't dread any run.......... relax and enjoy it.

Not what you're looking for?
