More of a psychological battle than a physical one, if it wasn’t for (fairly) comfortably doing 28 minutes on Wednesday I’d have sworn I couldn’t do it! Slow and steady wins the race though, only 2 more runs till (re)graduation!

Well done! I feel ya on the psychological battle front. Really starting to get to grips with fibromyalgia, I always took things easy until recently then my Dr assured me that there is no physical damage taking place only erroneous nerve signals. Since taking on that mindset & being reassured of my fitness levels by my Garmin va3 I've been going for it! Still only on wk2 run3 while also doing a 12wk resistance band workout plan onwards & upwards! :)
