Aw thank you 😊. I have been lurking on the site but it is great to be back among fantastic pals !!! Autumn was tough not being able to run and December was still marginal . I joined another site with my goddaughter to support her but they were not supportive like here - I left promptly! This is a such a brilliant community 💥

Welcome back and congratulations - I bet it felt good completing the programme again! 👍🙂 Good luck with the next phase of your running journey..!🏃‍♀️

Thank you too 😊. It’s funny second time around as you know you can do it but the first 5 minutes are hard fighting the mental gremlins and then the rhythm sets in and that’s it. It was annoying have no music or Laura at the 16 minute point but didn’t want to stop to fiddle so just used my watch!

Yes, sadly the Toxic 10 first minutes of a run never really goes but we learn to ignore it for what it is - and there are many posts on the scientific explanation for it if you’re interested! 🙂

Yes I remember about the Toxic 10 and that helped me to settle into it! It’s funny that it never really goes 🙁 but it’s very weird all the same!
