hi, Well done, I have week 2 run 2 coming up tomorrow. Run 1 was OK-ish, Have decided to buy proper run shoes today and ditch my 'fashion trainers' (there's committment). will follow your progress. x

Running shoes are a must! I have Brooks ghosts which I love as I have quite wide feet and they come in a range of widths. Good luck tomorrow!

thank you, it says if you make it to week 4 get proper shoes but i cant wait that long, my shoes have no grip and ive slipped a couple of times on wet pavements. going for gait analysis, guess I'll take their advice.

Oh gosh yes, you don’t want to end up with an injury. Enjoy shopping!

Well done I’ve just finished week 2!

An experienced runner recommended brooks and are a little bit pricey but so worth the investment!

I've just done wk 2 run 2. I think i will be repeating the runs. I have an incline on the 5th run and i just can't make it to 90 seconds. I got a bit further up it this morning. I will do it before going on to w3. Otherwise I'm really enjoying it. X

Hey just done w2r2 also, you mention an incline, do you always do the same route? why dont you run a flat route? i tend to go out the door and run a different way each time, if i see a hill i avoid it! πŸ˜†maybe thats cheating i dont know. good luck with run 3.

It happens. It’s great that you’re doing it again! So nice for me to see a second timer around the same stage as me too. We can do this :)
