W2R1 done

I was dreading this run but I just about completed it. The last run before the 5 minute walk, I nearly stopped about 10 seconds before Michael Johnson told me to walk. I was knackered and I don’t know if I’d have kissed him or slap him after the run, lol. Roll on run 2 😆👍

Well done, that's pretty much how I feel each time they say you can slow to a walk. I have to say I'm sort of enjoying it even though I've always hated sport and always said I couldn't run. It's a sort of uncoordinated type of jog lollop stumble. Better today with taking brufen as I twisted my ankle over 6 weeks ago and have a dodgy knee on the other side! Enjoy your next run!

I hate exercise as well but I’m enjoying the challenge. I’ve always said I can’t run and I need to get that thought out of my head. I’ll do my best to keep plodding along lol

Have a phone like mine it cut the trainer off half way through a sentence. Now I know what a good thing that is. You are doing well, believe it,!

aww well done Taxzy-wazzy, good luck with next run, keep it slow pace, I have found the heat makes it much harder to run
