Run and Repeat

We’ve just finished Week 1 and it’s been really hard. We did it early mornings in rain and sun lol! But I don’t want to give up so we are going to repeat Week 1 before moving to Week 2. I’ve had back surgery and my daughter is unfit so we think this is the best thing. Wish us luck!x

Well done ,

But if you completed week 1 you WILL be ready for week 2 !

trust the program 🙂

You can and should however repeat any runs you don't actually complete .

Good luck and enjoy the program .

I would try wk 2 run 1 first personally I found wk 1 the hardest wouldn't repeat it if you have completed just try the next one and see how you go but I honestly found week 2 easier than week 1 😀.

Well done on starting.

If done at the right pace, then Week 1 should be doable for almost anyone, so if you struggled, it suggests you maybe went a bit too quickly, which is very understandable.

It's not obvious, but every run you do prepares you for the next run. So Week 1 prepares you for Week 2. And Week 1 PLUS Week 2 prepares you for Week 3 and so on.

Not what you're looking for?
