First time I have posted... Just got back from jogging for 20 minutes for the first time. I am impressed that so many people say they enjoy this run. So far the only bit I have enjoyed is stopping (and the thought that I have not got to go jogging tomorrow .) Today it was raining cats and dogs and there seemed to be a headwind in both directions-I suppose I do have a faint glow of satisfaction that at least I went and did it.

Congratulations on completing that 20 minute run of week 5 run 3 in the wind 🎊and rain ☔, you should have more than a faint glow of satisfaction, you should be eleted and jumping with joy. 😊 Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs 🏃. 😊

I keep looking at this run and it’s terrifying me and I’m only at W2.

Well done pal. I see you and feel the positive encouragement.

The simple objective fact that most people complete the run first time based on exactly the same training as you are doing should calm your fears.

Well done and I’m with you - each day I look forward to saying ‘well that’s another one done’. I do feel good afterwards - good that’s it’s over, good that I proved I could do it, good I can eat a bit more due to extra burnt calories 🙈

Until this week...I’ve just done R1W8 and no I didn’t enjoy it but I felt more positive whilst doing it. I feel very proud for completing this programme and can see that I will achieve the end goal...

keep it going you are doing so well 👍🏻
