Just done W4 R1 I was a bit nervous because I haven’t run since last Saturday but to be honest it was ok the last 5 minutes was a bit tough but I kept going although at a snails pace !

I've got my W4 R1 tomorrow, I've just checked out what it involves and omg it does seem a big step! I think I'll just make sure I do the first one really slow, I'm going away next week too so I'm going to take my running shoes with me and make sure I get out for R2 & 3, then that will be a whole month I've been 'running', it's flown by. Good luck with the remainder of your week :)

..time has flown past you are so right...enjoy your break. I was away when I ran my first run - I liked the fact that I was somewhere nobody knew me and it was ok to be hot, sweaty and out of breath! 🏃‍♀️ now I don't care! 👊

I done the 1st run this morning and it was kind of fine! Not half as bad as I expected, tired towards the end but that's to be expected 🏃‍♀️😁

I’ve just started W5. I’ve found that each week, when I look ahead at the next run, I panic and think “OMG, I’ll never do it”, but I’ve been managing so far so I guess I should just trust the programme 😊
