Completed week 1. Only a small achievement but super proud since I haven’t done any exercise in years!

Only 8 weeks to go 🥳

Thanks. I just can’t comprehend that in 8 weeks I’m supposed to be able to run for 30 mins. Seems impossible

I know - I was soooo proud of myself for running for 6 mins in week one but I can tell you that in 7 weeks this fat fifty-something has gone from OMG 6 mins to wow 28 mins. It is possible. just trust the program and don't try to be too fast!

Hi ChrisWhatmough, it's not a small achievement at all, it's huge! Week 1 is the hardest of all and you've done it! Be proud and bask in it 😄 It does seem impossible at this point to think that you'll be able to run for 30 minutes, bit honestly, you will! Just hydrate well every day and GO SLOWLY!

Huge congrats 👟🎊 I found just taking each run at a time and not looking forward has helped me. Getting through the next 20mins feels much more achievable than fast forwarding to thinking about week 9! Enjoy the journey!
