Wow! I actually managed it! And didn't feel too bad thanks to the advice about taking the runs nice and slow. Also feel like my breathing has improved. I don't really have to think too much about trying to breath now, its more natural. Legs still take a bit of warming up before the lose the tight/stiff feeling but once I'm into the run they feel much better.

The tight/stiff legs definitely get better over time😊up until about week 5 my calves would be so stiff and they would seize up as soon as I stopped running!! I’m on week 7 now and it doesn’t seem to happen anymore🤞😊

Well done! Feels amazing when you complete something you never thought you would huh.
I've got my w4 3r tomorrow and am more confident that I can do it after completing w4 r2 yesterday. Each one builds confidence.x
