I, M BACK AFTER THE SNOW started week 2 again I listened to all your advice about slowing down the runs ( I could not do 90 second runs) and today in headon wind and the last half it was raining I did ALL 90 second runs not bad for a old girl who has not run for 50 years. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again guys xx
