Week 2 done

So after trying to get out all weekend to finish week 2 and then coming up with excuses to put it off. Tonight I finally got out and did it, I slowed right down and didn’t cover as much distance but for the first time I wasn’t praying for Jo to say slow down.

Can’t wait for Wednesday to start week 3.

Great you've now completed wk2. Don't bother about distance because as you've found out going slower is so much better. Well done you 😊😊

Great job with that pace... when you get to the end with some left in the tank, you know you got the next run... enjoy that week 3

Well done....going slow and then slowing down again and then some more if necessary really works and has done a lot to get me where I am now. If you haven’t already I would really recommend googling Japanese slow running....was really helpful for me. 😍 Cx

Hi candy

Yeah I saw that at the weekend, it’s made all the difference, let’s see how the 3 minute runs go.

Thank you

Really well done. Sounds like you're enjoying it more now that you've slowed down. It really is harder to do than it sounds.

Keep us updated.
