I moved on to week 2 yesterday and did run 1. Physically I felt better than my last run, I think because it was a bit cooler. Still doing OK with getting through the programme, though I expect that to change at any moment! The recovery times for this week feel long to me, I was down to normal and ready to go before it wanted me to.

At one point I got distracted and ran longer than I should have, so it's good to know that another 40 seconds doesn't kill me! (I don't listen to the podcasts that everyone else does, I have very low tolerance levels when it comes to music!)

Weirdness - my right knee clicked when I walked. It didn't hurt, and still isn't hurting at all, and is no longer clicking.

You're exactly where I am in the program :) I did w2 r1 yesterday and recovered much quicker than week one, although my legs were feeling it more this time around! :)

And strange enough my right knee clicks too although it hasn't stopped altogether, it still clicks randomly somtimes.....would be nice to know what/why it does it?

Keep up the good work future runner ;)
