Hello Week 2, we finally get to meet

Week 2... Run 1 now that was an interesting experience, I was a little uneasy about as I had gotten use to Jo in Week 1 and knew when to expect her... Week 2, I must admit I was sort of waiting for her to let me know the run was done.

Point for improvement - stop focusing on Jo because that doesn’t help my concentration 🙄. Such a muppet.

The run overall, I managed it. At some points I didn’t manage the whole 90 second run but was mere seconds

Another point for improvement - you managed to run 90 seconds, so obviously you can do it again. Maybe you need a mantra or make up an imaginary story or list of things I probably won’t end up doing.

I did enjoy the run and I love how at the end I know I’ve worked hard. Gross but... the visible sweating and stink is a good indicator. I feel I am going to sleep well tonight and roll on Thursday!!

On a side point I think my body wants carbs as almost ate my lunch for tomorrow and had to force myself away from it! 😂😂😂 clearly craving my pasta!

Well done... you’re progressing nicely. Enjoy run 2.

Well done! I did w2 run1 too today. I found it hard, but strangely enjoyed it.

90 seconds sounds like nothing, but the first 3 felt soooo long!

Good luck for the rest of the weekend, we can do this 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

That’s exactly what I thought too!! Got to one stage where I urging Jo to say the run was finished 😂🙈
