Week 3, run 3 completed tonight. Actually found that easier than the first two times trying it! Really can't believe just two weeks ago I was struggling to even complete the 60 seconds running and felt like giving up 🤣 still unsure about the 4th week as 5 minutes just seems that bit too much just now but gonnie give it a go and can only try I suppose. Weekend off to rest then back at it Monday. Determined to get through this and see it to the end 🤣

Great going! I was stuck on W3 as I couldnt complete the 3 min runs but after several weeks finally managed it. I did W4R1 yesterday and was amazed to finish it first time despite the 5 min runs! (No idea how R 2 will go on Sunday 😳) So my newbie advice is give it a go at W4 and you’ll do fine 👍

I defo will give it a try, just unsure how successful it will be on the first run. If we dont try we wont ever know though! Well done for getting past week 3 and sticking with it to week 4. Good luck for the next one

That's a good way to look at it. I don't break it down as much as that, I just look at the running times and panic 🤣 I run round two football pitches so I use the each of the corners and the half way lines and my focus going round. It seems to work for now! Well done on getting as far as you are, gives me hope to see someone getting through it successfully haha! Best of luck for the next run

Well why not try think of it the other way round. Running should be a walk in the park compared to the other things you have been through! If you can survive that, you can survive anything. What's a little bit of running when you look at the bigger picture eh ? Easy hahah

Not what you're looking for?
