Got to the end of week 1

Changed my route this time. Had a very slightly uphill bit but did it. Also pushed a bit harder on the last rep. Looking forward to week 2 on Wednesday. Going to try running in the daylight. Scary!

Well done you ! ⭐️ Personally I find running in daylight much more interesting and far less hazardous. Enjoy !

Good 👍 if anyone thinks anything when they see you, it's probably that they wish they had your commitment!

Fab! Good for you. And pushing it at the end of the run is the right thing to do.

Good going!

Well done, I just finished my week 1 run today, so far I have only ran in daylight, I was worried people would comment on my size and so far has been nice when I’ve been out. Good luck for your run tomorrow :)
