Ok so I did week 4 run/1 on Tuesday and it was second attempt due to really bad cramp first time around but I did it! So tonight after a day off I thought I would attempt week4/run 2 ! So off I went and just concentrated on one lamp post at a time to get through it! And I am dead chuffed I did it with no pauses or massive cramp in leg! Legs did get tired but I pushed through it today and I am over the moon whoop whoop :-)

I'm lucky never to have had cramp in my leg running, hopefully it was the last of it!

Well done! You can do it! At every stage I've thought 'I'm not sure I'll manage this' and yet I haven't failed to complete a run yet - trust the plan - if you are sticking to it, you will have built up enough stamina and strength to do each stage, even scary 25 minute ones... I couldn't run for a minute without difficulty when I started.

Not what you're looking for?
