1st run: I couldn’t complete full runs. Repeated today after 1 Day break and smashed it!! Definitely need to keep the speed down. Onwards and upwards now I hope 🤞

Top tip: get the word 'run' out of your head and instead think 'jog' - NICE and SLOW does it.

You need DiscoRunner and her Japanese Slow Runner vid!

Well done. Run 1 took me 3vattemots. Just going for week 2., Run 1. Not sure it gets easier but the feeling of achievement and the support from this forum certainly build the enthusiasm. 👍

Well done you ! It took me nine weeks of repeats to beat week 1 on my first time around so you’re doing great in my book ! Keep taking it slow and steady, and try not to get too frustrated if/when you have to repeat: you’re building strength and stamina which will really pay back later on in the programme. Have fun x
