Completed week 4 yesterday and starting week 5 this week. A bit scared but not going to look ahead and just go into each run. I know I can do it and I also know that I wont give up!!

W4R3 was my first run in the pouring rain and so many people have said that puts them off road running, if anything I preferred it. Nobody around, jumping in a hot bath getting home, rain cooling me down etc!

Happy, happy days :-)

I'm starting week 4 tomorrow😳. How did you find it ? Any advice?

My biggest advice is to keep slow and steady. I could visibly notice my improvement this week so first run was harder than second which was harder than third. I put all my faith into the plan and it seems to work for me! Good luck xx

Great job. You’ll be fine in week 5, you’re stronger run by run, and so determined that pouring rain didn’t put you off.

You’re storming through these runs Hattie! You’re going to love this week, loads of running with a big high at the end. Don’t fear run 3 just relax and enjoy it! Love a bit of rain too... 🌧

We're at the exact same stage, I started week 5 run 1 this morning. I've ran in the rain once before and I must admit that I don't mind it either. This mornings runs was surprisingly ok actually, I really enjoyed it and can feel myself getting fitter with each run. We can do this!! :-)
