I can’t believe I am now running for 30 minutes non-stop and I am so chuffed with myself.

For anyone embarking on the programme, don’t ask me how, but it really does work. The mantra “trust the programme” can’t be understated.

Key advice for me was recognising how much of it was in the head - believe you can and I promise you will.

Anyway, congratulations to others that have recently graduated and massive support to those still on the journey - you can do it 😊

Congratulations - I am only starting week 3 tomorrow morning, so the end seems a long way away at the moment. Just thinking that I can not stop for 30 mins seems crazy, but I will trust the process.

Well done for completing the programme.

Thanks so much and yes, you can do it - I promise. I haven’t done any consistent exercise since school which is over 40 years ago 😬 so although it always sounds a bit of cliche “if I can do it, so can you.” Enjoy the rest of the journey, take one run at a time and you will feel great every time you tick another one off 👍
