So W2R1 done tonight. Dropped my phone, presses the pause button and never noticed until I thought “this 90sec is a life time”. Calves are agony. Not giving up tho just going to invest in a good pair of running shoes 👞 X

Oh, you made me laugh! I have had very similar thoughts in the early weeks of the programme - this X minutes is lasting forever! The only difference is that it was never because I'd dropped my phone and accidentally paused it, it was just because I was really really unfit and found it hard going! That said, you will be amazed at how quickly your fitness improves! Hang on in there (and keep that phone safe!)

Made me laugh so much too!! I also completed W2 R1 just now, and had to take my phone out of my pocket whilst *running* to check that I hadn't somehow paused it. Amazing that you carried on with it past the time!!

Feeling so good about it now...I didn't think I'd even get this far
