Wow I have to thank you all for all of your comments on this site. I’d planned my W2R1 last night but really couldn’t be bothered and so didn’t go and felt a failure last night and today. During today I kept on reading your inspirational posts, had a horrible headache all day but when I got home from work I gave myself a pep talk and made myself complete the run. So glad I did, really enjoyed it and feel so much better about myself. The positive posts really helped 🏃🏼‍♀️thank you thank you thank you.

Keep at it! People here are pretty amazing, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a more supportive community anywhere. And if you need even more motivation, maybe try and find yourself a running buddy?

Well done for getting out there!

The gremlins come after us all and play with our head, however, you have certainly slayed those gremlins today!! Brilliant!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤩❤️

I think this programme is as much of a mental challenge as a physical one. Making yourself get on and do a run when you don’t feel like it is an achievement in itself. 👏🏻 Keep going!

Good for you! For me it’s all about the mental challenge but you feel so good when you overcome it don’t you? Keep going: remember your body and mind will thank you for itX
