Week 5 run 2- completed...................now for the big one!!

I quite suprised myself last night and actually enjoyed my two 8 minute runs!

Not bad for someone 5 stone over weight and recovering from Achilles tendon surgery!

Someone came over to chat to me on the treadmill whilst I was doing the first run, I was amazed that I managed to hold a conversation , Couldn't have managed that at the start.Did get a little worried that I would miss Laura telling me to walk and thought I may run to much, but luckily I was ok.Took advice from people and slowed my run from 7km to 6.8 on the treadmill and found it easier.

So last week I was dreading the 20 min run,now I say 'bring it on'................

Wow that is a hell of an achievement, well done you. I have one run left of week 4 then on to week 5 and I am looking forward to it. Good luck with your next run.

Thanks guys, just completed the 20 mins, and yes this programme really works.I don't feel tired at all.Even my tendons are ok, I always finish my session on the power plates to give my legs a massage
