Thanks for the encouragement

I did the second run of Wk4 last night. I’ve really struggled with 5 mins so repeated this week. Last night and Sunday I did it so just one more to go and I’ve smashed wk4. This is due mainly to the encouragement I see on these pages so thank you everyone. 😀👍

The forum is great isn't it! It's a whole world of people's experience and kindness. It makes us feel like we're not odd or unusual and that this running lark is achievable and a whole new adventure. Well done - you are on your way!

Well done. You're doing great.

You're sticking with it and making slight adjustments, which is exactly what you should be doing.

Keep up the good work

Sometimes repeating a run or a week is the best thing to do as it can then give you even more confidence to move on . It looks like it has done for you.

Well done you 😊😊
