hey toonfan71.. well done, thats the 1st week down, and you should move on now to week 2, you need to start believing in yourself, you can do it.. i think everyone has had those moments throughout the programme, wondering if you should repeat weeks before moving on to the next week, the truth is you will be fine to do wk 2, just take runs nice and easy and you will be fine.. Good Luck!!

Well done for completing week1 ! if i were you I'd definitely have a go at week2. I think you'll be surprised how much your stamina has improved in just a week. Hey - I've just completed week 3 & I'm still very much out of breath!

yeah me to i was thinking now way can i go on any further just yet but hey keep bloging here and with the encouragmenet i am sure i can do it

thanks for thnat

I would definitely go forwards, you can do it.

You can!

Believe in yourself and the programme, think about slowing your pace if you perhaps find it hard, as often that seems to be the problem.

You'll do great, just keep going :)

Good luck.

Honestly, if you've completed 3 Week 1 sessions as per podcast, you are ready for Week 2, no matter how long and tough it was getting to this point. Been there, done that!

Move on to week 2, Ive just finished week 4 and it is amazing how your stamina grows and your breathing evens out. Cant remember what week it is but Laura does talk to you about breathing, it could be week 2 actually. Keep going and well done.
