You can do it

[MrsJWB]

I'm an extremely unfit, 5 stone overweight, 45 year old type 2 diabetic woman who hasn't run for 30 years. I didn't even manage all 8 of the 60 second runs on week 1 run 1, this week I started week 5, the first 5 minutes were gruelling, but by the 3rd 5minutes I felt I could keep going....... And I did, managing 13.5 minutes in one go. I keep telling people if I can do it, anyone can!!! Looking at the weeks ahead can be daunting but the programme works😁

Hi there MrsJWB...well done you. I was, overweight pre diabetic person that started this wonderful life changing challenge in February. Have lost now 2 stone to date and blood pressure down ALOT... I am hoping the blood test next month shows a drop in my risk score too. I am guessing you will also see a massive improvement in your health and maybe get your diabetic numbers down also. It is a challenge and yes it does seem like you will never be able to complete the next week but this works and you will

Well done. Keep going its definately worth it. It may seem daunting but look at the positives it can bring. U managed 13.5 mins of running today what can u achieve next. Good luck and remember why ur doing this and if u feel u cant keep trying u will get there.

I've just been out and done week 5 Run 2, did the 8 minute run ok followed by the 5 minute walk. For the 2nd 8 minutes I thought I'd just see how long I could comfortably go for and I managed 20 minutes, I honestly didn't think this was possible - this was a massive morale boost 😁

As a 63 year old , type 2 diabetic, was 4 stone overweight, hadn’t run for 40 years, I can only say Keep Going!!! It’s tough but the rewards are well worth it. Keep posting- we’ll be reading.
