Week 4 Run 1

I've just completed run 1 of week 4 and I felt it was a huge jump from week 3. I wasn't ready for the extra 2 min run.

Well done! You completed it, so you were ready after all.

It’s a great progressive programme isn’t it ?😎

But you did it! Give yourself a high five :)

There are bits of this program where your mind gremlins will have a tantrum and insist on stopping because it's too hard 😈. Be warned, they are lying!

Believe in the program and believe in you 🤗

You did great

Happy running

Thank you

I’ve also just completed W4 R1 last night. It was a huge jump but I managed it. Not sure if I like to run yet but I don’t think I hate it.

Well done..I did it this morning, the last 5mins was hard but I did it. All the doubts I had quickly went as I completed it. I'm trusting the programme so taking it week by week, run by run. Happy running.
