Just completed W8R1! And you were right, another 3 mins didn’t make that much difference. I did have to change one thing though.

I usually continually run on the path around the perimeter of a big playing field ( with playground and tennis courts within it) it’s not completely flat, there is a slight incline on both sides. However after going round twice it feels like you are climbing up a really steep hill!! So after the 4th time I decided to repeat the only flat part of the path for the last 10 mins. Just couldn’t face going up that great big hill πŸ˜‚. I felt like I was cheating - silly really.

Anyway guys I DID IT!! Thanks for keeping the faith πŸ˜†

Well done.

I will repeat it and continue to repeat it...

Once you've got the mental barrier of W5R3 out of the way, then nothing else in the program should faze you.

From W6R2 onwards, it's just a simple nice progression from week to week. Just takes a switch in mentality to enjoy running (jogging!) for a sustained length of time.

It's in Weeks 7, 8 and 9 when you really realise whether you enjoy running or not ...

Well done Moomin63, glad it went well for you today, avoiding a hill isn’t cheating, sounds like common sense to me πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
