Managed to get to week 2 and second run was tough. Will give myself a couple of days rest now as was doing every other day and now feel that i need to rest to give my muscles time to adjust😂. Love the structured approach and never thought I would be able to keep it up even for 5 runs! All the posts and comments in here are such a great help thank you guys!

Great work and good call taking the extra rest day... only you know how you feel and you’ll come to the next run stronger.
