My first post as I’m beginning to believe this might actually be possible! 😁 So far I’ve been able to follow each run as instructed, The idea of being coached by Navid from Still Game (Sanjeev Kohli) makes me chuckle but he’s doing an amazing job here. Bizarre how you can get so much encouragement from a pre-recorded message!

Just do what Navid tells you to. 👍 It builds up gradually and it does work. 👏👏👏

I’m loving it already! I go out early mornings, yesterday it was 04:45 and it was lovely and cool 😎

I’m not as early as you but usually get out about 7. I’m lucky to have a beautiful wood to run in so it’s nice to get out and enjoy the morning coolness.

Well done you! I'll never forget how Sarah Millican used to boost my runs every time she said 'Well done petal'!

Congratulations on your brilliant progress! I feel like Denise Lewis is my friend and when I see her on the TV I mentally say hi to my mate Denise who I used to run with! We’ve been places together!!

The messages (for me it's Laura) are awesome. I really, really don't want to disappoint her ... even though I know she has no clue about anyone who's listening to her! These little words of encouragement are so uplifting. At the end of week 6 on Friday she told me I was now a runner. I felt 10ft tall! 😂

it’s a bit crazy but it works 😂. Apparently I’m a runner too now despite 5 (nearly 6) decades of thinking I’m not.
