This is a great programme and very well thought out. In a couple of days I will be running for 30 minutes without a break, that’s 30 TIMES the 1 minute that I struggled with just a few weeks ago! I’ve never done that in all my 64 years. I learned to trust the programme several weeks ago and believed that I would be able to cope with the weekly increments and I have. Every week includes a personal best for me and the sense of achievement I get gives me a real lift. There’s not a lot left in the tank when I finish but I do finish and that’s what it’s all about. Week 9? Bring it on!
