Well that is week two completed, and feeling energised. My recovery from each of the runs have got quicker this week and not feeling out of breath for too long during my five minute cool down walk. Is that a good thing?

W3R1 completed I shortened my stride a bit as suggested by Laura to stop bouncing too much got through the 3 minute sessions ok and recovered ok I think it’s working 👍

I did it whoop whoop, like you said the less bounce made it a lot better. I could actually sing this week(only a little😀 and very quietly)Actually looking forward to run 2 for the first time. Thank you to you all because chatting to everyone has helped so much👍
