Week7 run1

[Aruba2020]

Dare I say this running malarkey is easy?! I could have gone on after 25 minutes running. This plan works!!!

[MJP458]

I hope so, and everyone keeps saying so. I’ve got W2R3 in the morning and all I can think about is having to run for 3 minutes straight next week!!!

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to MJP458]

I was in the same position as you! Never ran in my life but the plan really works. Don’t give up

[Girl53 in reply to MJP458]

I start week 3 tomorrow and am worrying whether I can do it...but then again I worried whether I could do week 2 but I did it... I think the real key is to try not to run fast just slow and steady... good luck xx

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Girl53]

Definitely slow and steady, it’s the only way. Good luck

[SuzieMac in reply to MJP458]

I felt the same and now here I am on week 3! My plan is to run week 3 again tho as my schedule went wrong this week due to no fault of my own . Back to the plan tomorrow tho. You can do it!!

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to SuzieMac]

You will smash it ! I know you will x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Glad that you find this "running malarkey" :easy: not too many people say that, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 7🏃🏾😊

[Sook2 Graduate]

Excellent!

[Aruba2020 Graduate]

Thank you, never in a million years did I think I could run for 25 minutes.

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

Think you’ve caught the running bug, well done.

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

You maybe right! Loving it x

[Elfe5 Graduate]

That’s wonderful! 😄 You keep enjoying! - Great shoes - I am having purple envy! 😂

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

😂😂😂 My favourite colour!!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

It certainly does work! You're almost there now 👍🏻😁

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Can’t wait! Wonder what week8 will be like?

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Fabulous, well done and good luck!

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thank you, how you getting along?

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to Aruba2020]

I did W5R3 today on a part flooded path round a lake. Completed it though so well chuffed 😁

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Fantastic! It gets easier promise. xx

[ChainsawCharlie Graduate]

Just done W6R3, looking forward to W7 which is all 25 minutes each. My old games teachers would be amazed. Hopefully this enthusiasm will last. Already thinking about what challenges next once 5k has been consolidated for a couple of months.

Congratulations on contracting the running bug.

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to ChainsawCharlie]

Congratulations! I’m thinking the same, which park runs can I do after. Would love a medal 🏅 lol.

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Aruba2020]

I hated running so my teacher would probably die in shock 😂

[Deals1 Graduate]

Great that u could carry on. Not long to go

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Deals1]

It’s my Motivation to complete this.

[Deals1 Graduate in reply to Aruba2020]

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Definitely addicted 😂 hate rest days now 😆 Hope I continue to feel like this x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Slow and steady and well done you... maybe some outdoor running too when you are able?

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I’m scared of running outside, friends tell me it’s so different and more Challenging?

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Aruba2020]

Yes Aruba2020 ...it's very, very different...but different in the best way possible!! Don't be scared...just do it!!

[Nellie75]

I’ve just finished week 6 run 3 (25 mins) and I was the least fit, least strong person I knew and somehow, mentally, I achieved it. Each week was a mental fight to keep going and I slowed it right down and now, 25 mins is all mine. I too am loving it! It’s not easy for me , but it’s certainly fun and I feel great!

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Nellie75]

Well done!! Great feeling right?

[Nellie75 in reply to Aruba2020]

Definitely! I’m hooked

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

That's great Aruba2020 ...just shows that the programme works 😊

[Aruba2020 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Definitely works, I couldn’t run for nothing before I started this programme. I’m recommending it to all my non running friends now
