Hi

I’m new to this and have been inspired by reading the posts over the last week.

Decided to give it a go and I have just completed W1R3 so on to W2.

Hope I have the stamina to graduate.

You will have ..... it's a great program. You'll soon be hooked! But remember you can repeat as many runs or weeks that you feel you need to. Go slower than you think and you will be fine. Well done on completing your first week and may it be the first of many on your running journey 🤗🏃‍♀️🏃

Thank you for all your encouragement.

Just finished W2R3. I am doing it on a treadmill at home. The clock was tormenting me all the way so I had to cover it up 😂. Found it easier to concentrate on running than on the slowly ticking time!
