Well done, it's great when you realise you're coping OK with the step up. That's your stamina improving already! ☺

Great stuff Sola!! Knew you'd be ok with this one. And an extra well done for getting out after work, that's hard.

When we started I was a bit horrified at my unfitness I ran for an athletics club in my 20’s and regularly ran 7 miles so when i couldn’t even run 60 seconds on week 1 and had to repeat it was a bit ticked off, but seeing progress is great

Thank you the encouragement here is great
