It's not about the destination, it is about the journeys. Just keep at it and don't lose heart. What you are doing now is benefiting your health and mind. Just remember the hare and the tortoise.

Good for you. πŸ‘

I only repeated a run if I actually didn't complete it. Up to you, but why not give week 2 run 1 a try - you might surprise yourself!

Well done, take it at your pace and you’ll get there.

I agree with Speedy - why not give week 2 a go now that you've completed week 1? You'll get a great sense of achievement when you smash through next week!!

Yay, that’s brilliant, you have great perseverance and that's really going to help in this running business. Keep posting 😁

Keep at it! Well done. I would echo what others have said - you are ready to move on now, you have prepared well!
