Back up to week 4 again!

I get so far with this then life happens and work or health break the routine. What I love about this programme is that I can just go back a couple of weeks each time and rebuild my stamina. I got to end of week 7 in November so the ambition remains to get to end of week 9 before the summer (I repeat weeks until I can do them comfortably) and wear a bikini to the beach this year!

It’s a great programme isn’t it? Keep going with your positivity, you’re doing great 👍🏻 I’m at W9 this week, I manage to get to W7R3 in September but had to stop due to knee problems. I started back at W1 in October and persevered and hopefully will graduate by the end of the week 🤞🏻.

Thank you and yes it is great. Things started to really fall into place when I realised I can do this how I want to. I am one of those people who will drop something if it's not perfect. So when I stopped putting a time goal on this I really started to enjoy it. I love it that I'm back at week 4 and progressing swiftly. Good luck with week 9!

Great persevering there, well done. Bikini is a great incentive especially in the depths of winter. Happy running
