Hey we done, I know the feeling it such a good one and it spurs you on.

I’ve just finished week 7 and definitely finding it easier with a steady pace each run.

Who are you listening to?

That’s such a milestone. Massive congratulations to you. It’s great to look back and see how far you’ve come. You deserve to be super proud of yourself.

Sometimes week 6 is a bit tricky after the high of week 5-people often go off a bit fast. Keep it steady and you’ll have a great time.

Well done! Keep going. I didn’t think I could get to the end of this program but I completed it this morning. The feeling is amazing! Good luck 😉
