Wow whoever thought this would be easy !! I’m getting slower and it’s getting harder !

Dam you rain, mud, leaves and dark mornings !!

I’m not going to get hung up and just keep plodding on 20-30 mins when I can. Managed just 1.6 miles today and was seriously hard !! But considering how hard week 1 was that’s still pretty awesome for me !

To all you slow plodders out there ...keep plodding!

Well done Mezzie, the important thing is you went out and didn’t stay in the couch. Every time you run you put more miles on your legs 🦵

Enjoy a rest day, and keep the running up 🏃‍♀️👍🏻

It will get easier. Is what I tell myself. Consistency is the key. Stay positive. 🏃‍♀️😁

It’s fine honestly! To be expected too. Slow runs are what builds your body up. Run slow and steady and avoid injury. As you keep going you will get fitter and stronger. Oh yes! 💪👍🙂

Well done for getting out there 👏 something is better than nothing 😊 keep at it and it will get easier 🤞

I’m off out shortly, we have fog here today, haven’t had to run in that yet 🌫 😬

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

A run is a run 👌 and it’s a better run than you could have done 10/11 weeks ago 🤷🏼‍♀️🙂

Keep getting out when you can and do what you can 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🙂

Well done Mezziejay,

You're right, it does seem harder after the programme is done, especially now Autumn is here. I'm out there plodding with you so keep going 😁

Great attitude. Good on ya.

Yes! I’m finding it harder too 😏😬

Haven’t been graduated for long and it feels as though I’ve got a little bit lost, need to get into a new routine as it’s getting darker earlier, but I’m still getting out there as you are, so we’re still winning 🙌
