Well the run I was dreading happened this morning. Wasnt looking forward to it as I had a couple of glasses of vino last night. To my surprise I actually did it, I found the 1st 5 minute run the hardest but the 2nd appeared to be finished so quickly...My lower back is aching a little (dont know whether this is from having to continue pulling the dog back or whether it is from the running). I have stretched a bit more this morning so hopefully that will sort it. Thank you so much for all your support guys and roll on Tuesday :-)

Well done!

I've just finished W3 and am feeling a bit daunted (understatement) by W4. Is it much tougher? I'm really worried about the recovery times which seem awfully short.

I did W4R1 yesterday & honestly I was surprised how doable it was. I found that the first 3 minute run which i'd struggled on last week, was just a breeze! I was a bit worried about the shorter recovery times, but it was fine, mind you I did struggle on the final 5 minutes, but hey I completed it. When you hear Laura telling you at the end that now you have run more than you've walked - you will feel amazing.

Hi, I did find it tougher but then again might go without the dog next time !! On the positive tho I actually completed it and never thought I would, so all good.. You can do it. We r in this together so keep blogging and we can support each other ?
