Managed run one better than I thought. Found this one a lot tougher but managed it. Actually preferred the brief running spells rather than the brisk walking - who'd have thought! Couldn't have managed any more though. Hoping the 3rd one will be a combination of the two. Although little bit worried about week 2 now!

Well done! A great start. My first breakthrough was learning that my brisk walk could be faster than my run. This was especially useful as the durations increase. So just learn to run slowly and you’ll be fine!

I struggled more on my second run than I did on the others! (On w2r1) dont know why. It was pouring down with rain perhaps it makes a diff 😂) well done it will only get better now so I’m told !
