Week 1 Done

Just finished W1R3 and actually enjoyed it despite bitingly cold wind and never having enjoyed running before. I even inspired my wife to join me on the runs 2 and 3. It certainly makes it easier if you have someone to run with even if only to motivate you to get out there in the cold. I'm going to do W2 on Monday but I think she'll do another whole W1. Really chuffed that we have started and survived the first week.

Brilliant - shows great determination to get out there in the cold. Keep at this programme is so good 🙂

Great job both of you. I started this with my daughter and I damaged my knees so she was a couple of weeks ahead of me. She went into the final week, did 2 runs, and then refused to run 30 minutes again until I’d caught up... this gave us an amazing graduation run... as you and the wife are only a run apart, I’d highly recommend finishing this together!

Happy running.
