Cannot believe I ran for 30 mins non stop. I literally could not even run for 90 seconds in the first few weeks and I remember when upping up from 3 mins to 5 mins seems impossible!! Today I just ran for 30 mins non stop. In that time I did 4K, which to me is a massive achievement! My next challenge is to run 35 mins, and then 40 mins. By then I will hopefully do 5k and then work on improving my pace! So chuffed

Congratulations! It’s great to hear these stories of inspiration to people like me. I’ve just completed W3R2 and have really struggled with 3 mins so this gives me a lot of hope!

Thank you so much! Just to put it into perspective, if I can do it, you deffo can! I’m 4 stone over weight, office job (usually - pre COVID) so never really excerised!! Stick with it I still can’t believe it worked / this is me!!

Oh thanks for that. That’s me 3stone to much to carry round. But I’m giving it a go. Week 4 and beginning to live it. The sense of achievement is immense.
