I’m so chuffed! I ran early this morning and I did it! I never really thought I’d do W1R1 let alone get this far. Next run on Thursday...I think I’d better head out early. It seems a huge step up to go from 8 minutes to 20 minutes. I’m nervous about it 😱

Congratulations on completing run 2 of week 5, don't worry about run 3, the program has prepared you for it, just take it slowly, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself, good luck, try and run it in the early morning to avoid the heat of later in the day.

Thank you. I’m going to head out around 8 to give myself the best chance. I’m worried but looking forward to it too. I thought I was too old and too overweight to run anywhere so I get ridiculously overexcited with each achievement!

Well done 😀 dont' be nervous just think of it as you only have one lot of running to do not several, once you get going the time will fly by and you will feel great at the end of it. Trust the program you are ready and you will smash it 😀🏃‍♀️👊
