I was just wondering if I need to step it up a gear?

I am running so that I feel comfortable and I did feel at the end as though I perhaps could have run for another five minutes.

I am interested to find out what kind of distances others are running and if I should be pushing myself more.

Still loving the programme - Feeling like I could achieve this now! Yippeeeee!!

I would defintely stay at the 'feeling comfortable' This is a great place to be, and if you feel you could have run for another 5 minutes this is very positive and will help with going forward to the next levels.

Stepping it up a gear is something to aim to do once you've finished the nine weeks....all in good time! You don't want to push it and injure yourself unneccesarily
