Hi all. I'm Roo. Male, 45 yrs, overweight but trying to change. On my 2nd attempt, with the help from my son I've just completed w1r1. I'm so happy! First attempt I did 5 runs and that was me done. Tonight my lad, 14 came out to help and we did it. We've decided to tackle this together. Nice to have a chat about our day as we stomp along. Weirdly looking forward to r2... Just wanted to say hi.

Hi Roo, well done!! I’m about to restart at W1R1 and looking forward to it, got to W8R3 a couple of months ago, then illness struck 😕😕 and it’s set me right back now as I’ve been inactive for so many weeks, but better now than never!!

Well done. Keep on going. I remember W1 R1 not so long ago back in July and thinking that the 1 min runs towards the end seemed way longer than 1 min. Stick to the programme and it will get you to your goal. It worked for me and I’m sure it can work for you too. Best wishes.
