Just slow and steady...:)

If you follow the programme, take your rest days. take extra exercise on those days..you will be fine.

Just relax, trust the programme and have faith in yourself :)

Just keep working your way SLOWLY through the sessions and you will be fine. As long as you go steady you will manage it ok

Who would have thought that going slow is the answer to running! 😂😂😂 yet it plainly is. Thanks to all who keep saying it to me - the advice is golden.

It is though. Builds running legs. The days off in between are golden too 🏃‍♀️🏃
