Does it matter if it takes 10 days to complete Week 2?

Short answer......No!

Long answer....some people take 4/5 months to complete the program.

As long as you're running regularly, you can repeat runs or weeks whenever you want. Its important to fell comfortable in your own progress.

If a certain week is going to take longer because you cant get out to run, it may be an idea to stick with the week you've completed before attempting the next week. Laura says to run 3 times a week.

Good luck! :)

I did 2 years of walking three times a week before I started jogging so you are going super fast by my standards!
