Not going to say this was easy, but how this run is SO much easier than the first is beyond me?! Do I dare jinx it ๐Ÿ˜…

Had pretty bad burn in my thighs still after the first run but you soon forget about it. I slowed down which really helped this time, this was thanks too all the great advice from everyone on here so thank you to you all! โค๏ธ

Never thought I'd say it but actually looking forward to my next run ๐Ÿ˜

Great job. Your fitness will rise surprisingly rapidly, and it sounds like youโ€™ve found your happy pace. Youโ€™ll get to keep amazing yourself frequently throughout the plan, and beyond. Have a wonderful next run to close the first week out.

Well done and beware .... this can become addictive very quickly ๐Ÿ˜€. I think many of us found the very first run, the most difficult because it's such a leap of faith, stepping well outside our comfort zone. I felt for me personally I was probably very anxious about the whole thing, but, once run 1 was done I was a tiny bit confident that just maybe I could do R2 and relaxed ... enjoyed ... and it therefore understandably felt easier for me. Anyway, I'm on week 5 now and can tell you ..... trust the plan, believe and go for it .... ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ slowly tho!
