Just finished Week 5... having got to Week 8 in 2019 and Week 7 in 2021, before unexpected events knocked me of course. This time, am taking it even more slow and steady and did Week 2 twice and also Week 3 twice. Seems to make a big difference, as feeling strong 😊 and positive about Week 6. Fingers crossed I get to Week 9 this time.

Good work Paws! Glad you've found a good way to progress, just goes to show how we can adapt the program to make it work for us. (Disclaimer, that doesn't mean skipping a week or two when it's our first time through!!)

Thanks, happy I didn't stick adamantly to progressing through the weeks this time, think it's given me a stronger foundation 🙂

Ooo you are doing really well, keep at it slow and gentle, there's no rush and every run makes you stronger
