Good run for you today C1984, don't worry about that time, the main thing is that you enjoy your running 🏃🏾.

Well done - 4k is actually pretty great! You'll work up to 5k after you graduate - plenty of time for that. In the mean time bask in that 30 minute run - only 2 more now!!!

I’m on week 9 run 1 tomorrow. Ran week 8 run 3 yesterday and really struggled which showed at 3.46 km in 28 minutes. I’m just so pleased I’m still managing to run for that length of time. Just a few short weeks ago I struggled to run for 1 minute! I’m never going to be a marathon runner but feel now there might just be a place for running in my life and for that I am grateful x. Well done. Keep going xx

Don’t worry too much about pushing yourself to the limit, you are awesome and you are getting stronger with each run

Thanks all, I really think it’s a mind over matter thing.

I find diet and water intake is so important. The better I eat and the more water I consume the stronger I feel on my run!

Thanks for the ongoing words of wisdom!
