Starting to find it more difficult now but committed to finishing this programme. Any tips for me going into week 3? I’ve already discovered the importance of a good play list! #music #justkeepgoing

Just relax.. and keep it very slow and steady...each run is making you stronger, and all you need to do is to believe that :)

Well done you!

Have you checked out the important post for Newbies too:)

As the durations increase you can slow down! The first trick I learned was that my brisk walk could be faster than my run. That helped, then after someone posted this (I was in W6) - m.youtube.com/watch?v=9L2b2... it changed everything for me and I wish I’d seen it earlier! It’s a low impact style of running and could really help you stick at it as the runs get longer. And stay well hydrated on rest days as well as run days. Good luck!
