Feeling better W1R2

Evening all

Quick update from me

Firstly thanks for the reply’s, comments, likes etc on my first post - it was a HUGE motivation and inspiration to read the thoughts of you all.

I’ve just got back from W1R2 and I’m really pleased. I didn’t stop once! No breaks, no pausing the app, nothing!

I learned from the comments that maybe I was going too quick - I watched the video on Japanese slow jogging and it definitely sat in my mind as I started the run today.

I was supposed to go on Wednesday but I did a long family walk on Tuesday and thought I should rest as I’d be advised.

I never thought I’d say this but I was looking forward to the run today. W1R1 I had to stop twice but today I felt stronger.

I’m determined to carry on and finish this, and I know it’s early days but today I feel a little win in my journey.

Thanks for reading

M

Fantastic! Well done

Well done.

Do make sure that you have fully completed the W1 sessions three times before moving onto W2. It is a training plan developing your stamina, not a tick box exercise.

I’m a bit tempted to do week 1 twice, or is that a bit daft?

There is nothing wrong with repeating a week but we encourage you to move on if you complete.

That’s brilliant thank you. I think I’ve decided I’ll keep moving on! Also I did plenty of stretching after today’s run. 👍

Thanks

My plan is to do R3 on Saturday which will then be the first week done.

Then start W2R1 on Monday.
