I’m pleased to say that with support from my lovely daughters, I’ve finally made it and am jogging 30 mins non stop. Seems incredible after how I felt after first run. I’m not quite at 5 k but will carry on because I feel so much better. Can I have a certificate please? Thanks x

Well done and congratulations! I did WK4 run 2 this afternoon and only just managing to complete the last 5 minutes run...again :-( Hope the 3rd run will be easier as I am so determined by my legs might overrule my head!

First run today. Didn’t realise just how unfit I was. Use to be able to run a mile in under 6 mins ! 37 and struggling, but going to keep at it!! How long before you start to fell the bens of this plan?

Well done for starting. It’s a great start to 2020 for you. I struggled at first but felt benefits after first week. You’re doing right thing by keeping going. I’m not very fit and concentrated on completing time even if running super slowly. Keep going and you’ll graduate too. Good luck and all the best.
