How did I get here?!?! Week one I struggled to run for the one minute intervals and yet I have now just completed W9:R1. For anyone having doubts, stick with it you'll get there xx

I'm so happy! Where you are on week 5, was tough for me and I almost gave in and stopped, so glad that I struggled through - I'm over the moon!!

As you work your way through, you will have runs when you feel like you can't go on but with persistence you will get there! Good luck!

Well done! I was the same as you - struggled to run the 1 minute intervals in week 1, but I am about to complete week 8 tomorrow - am over the moon and totally trust I will make it through week 9 too. Its such a brilliant programme. I am 63 and have never run before...
