Well done on your first run ! Good luck for Run 2....I’m always red faced during/after running so your not alone. That must mean we are working hard !!!! 😂

Congratulations 😊

You’ve just completed the hardest session of all - overcoming the mental hurdle and getting out there 😊

The feeling gets better as you progress so be prepared to amaze yourself - I’m 58, 18 stone, and just starting Week 9 so it can be done LOL

Good luck and enjoy 😊

Well done. Having recently completed, it's great hearing the excitement of those just starting. It got slightly easier after week1! Takes me back 4 months, it's a great journey!

I almost can’t believe that it works but judging by everyone on the later weeks and those who have completed it, it really does! Thank you and a huge well done to you!!!!
