First week completed really enjoyed the first 2 runs cos I did those on a treadmill. Today I bit the bullit & ran outside for the first time ever. Totally misjudged how hilly the area I live in is!!! Okay running down but killer going up!!! Nice surprise of a neighbour cheering me on at the end🤣

Well done! I’m starting week 2 next week. I’ve always gone outside under the cover of darkness but I really think people admire those doing it. I am always envious of runners when I’m out walking the dog so you deserved that cheer!

Well done you, and your thoughtful neighbour ! It’s amazing how slopes you don’t notice when walking become monstrous as soon as you start to jog ! 😄

Well done completing week 2 jarob! It is the hardest week and you’ve gone and smashed it, with hills to boot! Excellent effort! Keep posting 😀

I’ve been there, genuinely you can do it as surely as I have. Yes it’s hard but every step of the way is built to challenge you. You have done the work for it, once you have completed week 1 you are bodily prepared for week 2. I promise you are capable of achieving it. I’ve never sugar coated, your body is able, you just have to let it happen 😀
