Well done. I just finished run 9. I found run 1, 4 and 7 really tiring but, for me anyway, it got easier on each repeat.

Legs hurt now, but hopefully next 2 runs will be easier

Well done. I’ve just completed week 1 and feel very pleased with myself!🥳💪 I found day 1 very tiring and my legs ached afterwards so I took 2 rest days and that felt better. I stretched after day 2 and I was fine.

Find the rhythm that works for you and keep going. 🙌🏃🏽‍♀️
