Running slowly makes it easier and builds your fitness and endurance better.

Starting this programme is a big shock to the system, and every week you are asking your body to do a bit more, so I didn't find any of it easy!

But, make sure you keep really well hydrated, and jog really slowly, and it will become easier.

Hope this helps😊

Some days are going to be better than others. I keep nagging on about flowers. If you watch time lapse film of a flower opening, you’ll see it’s not a smooth progression; more a series of hiccups, a leap forward here, a slight retreat there. This process of developing pace and fitness is much the same. It may feel frustrating, but in fact it’s completely natural. All the best with it x
