Completed w2r2 yesterday after a week’s gap. Felt much harder than previous runs with the gap. Looking forward to progressing more this week.

All good, 3rd week now...3min jogs. Butt cheeks are feeling it 🤣. The fear is missing a week and not getting back to it, so you should be so chuffed with yourself for pushing through. I used to be able to do 5ks, but lost fitness....it happens crazy fast. We can do this Chocoholic (brilliant tag) x

Thank you. Yes I am glad I found the motivation to carry on. First time I’ve not run in sunshine. Will hopefully do the next one tomorrow.. I think you are right if you don’t keep up with it you can lose fitness very quickly.. I really am a chocoholic, that’s one of the reasons I am doing this!
