W4R1 yay! 😀

Just got back from completing W4R1 and am completely amazed that I did it (despite the calf ache after the first 3 min run!). I have CFS and wasn’t sure how far I’d be able to get with this, but I’m actually feeling better than I’ve ever done. Long may it last! 😊

So pleased for you. Isn't it amazing? It feels like we're really starting to make some progress now and, actually, running for 5 minute blocks is an amazing achievement, especially with something like CFS. You should be really proud of yourself! :)

Thank you! I’m lucky in that I only have it mildly so can manage this. Stress really impacts it though and this is really helping to lift my mood and combat that 😊
