Fantastic - well done. It’s such a great programme to follow. I look forward to reading your updates as you progress.

Please don’t do as I do - I ran too fast and couldn’t manage beyond week 3 and kept giving up because ‘It was too hard’. On my third attempt at the challenge, I reread the advice about slow jogging at the end of week three. It changed everything for me. I completed week 5 yesterday and ran 20 minutes non stop and I could have carried on! I didn’t though - I’m sticking to the programme as ‘it’ knows best.

Good luck on run 2 ❤️
