So finally getting back to my Rhythm of running every other day. Can’t believe I managed to run for 15 minutes and it wasn’t impossible. I’m physically tired tonight after also doing my yoga class but it’s a good feeling. Sunday will be the proof. Can I cover 20 minutes nonstop?

You sure can do 20 min! I believe in you!

I did that run today and I was on a high for the rest of the day! So much so that I was bold enough to try cooking something new for the family meal. It's shocking what it drives us to! 😂 🤣 Xx

Correct, I finished week 9 run 3 on Tuesday getting itchy feet, setting off up Snowden in 5 mins, who’d have thought.

I couldn’t run 100mtrs in November.

I have the 20 min run tomorrow, did my run 2 yesterday, and felt ok at times, but at the start my legs started to feel it.

You can totally do it! I did my W5R3 this morning, and frankly, if I can do it anyone can!! You’ll smash it!

I'm planning W5:R2 for Sunday. Managed R1 this morning. Not feeling as bad as I thought I would. Definitely not looking forward to 2ins though!!

Thx for all the words of encouragement it really helps! Also was in London today and small victories but I didn’t use any tube escalators but trotted up the stairs. Could never have done that before starting this so great to know my core fitness is getting better and better
