Well, that was a lot easier that time round. I felt like I could go round again! Maybe week 2 doesn’t look so scary after all!

Just keep it slow and steady and know that you are ready for each and every single run:) Well done!

Thanks Oldfloss, I was given this advice for run one and it really does help. I’m not keeping the run too slow either so I feel proud of myself once I complete. I hope your running is going well!

Well... it is my first one and I only decided to do it, just to experience the whole thing... as I am very, very much a lone runner... it will be a couple of weeks before my 69th Birthday!

When I Graduated from C25K in 2015... I was never going to run any further than 5K.. ha ha...!!! It just evolved over the years... :) Be warned.. :)

The biggest worry for me is the number of folk involved... I mostly run fields and trails, weather permitting... and the only company there... is the wildlife:)

Well done.

Don't underestimate the effect of impact on your body.

Stick to the plan, observe the rest days and you will be fine.

Great run. Easier ones are so much more fun... week 2 isn’t scary, if it could it would run away from you. Enjoy closing out the hardest week in your next run.

Well if week 1 is the hardest week then I’m in for a good time. It didn’t seem as hard as I thought it would.
