Yep, if you can do the last run in wk 4, it's ok! It's run 2 and 3 this week that seem scary!

Fantastic gdeann - congrats!! I'm not sure about upping my pace or distance, my aim is just to get through it!!!

We'll both get there tho to 5k. How amazing - 6 weeks ago I couldn't even run round the garden!!!

True! I couldn't even do 1 minute! I honesty kept telling myself slow and steady but when I checked afterwards, I had picked up pace and distance from my 5 minute runs. Strange, but I'll take it! Good luck with your run!!!!!

Not what you're looking for?
