I am struggling! It was so hard today to finish, but I kept going and didn’t stop which I’m proud of but I am not looking forward to next run on Friday! It’s been going awesome up until week 4 ha

Well done for not stopping, and don't worry about the next run, your body is more prepared thank you think :)

Did this run this morning too. Will admit I found it a wee bit tougher than the 1st but I put that down to oversleeping and being out later than normal.

Well done for not stopping though!

Positive thinking required for Friday!

Well done! Sometimes I found I needed an extra days rest... i wonder if that would help you.

Be proud of yourself!

Well done, you did it

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

Slowing down to the recommended easy conversational pace makes it more achievable and for most, more enjoyable.

Slow down, relax and enjoy the challenge.......don't fear it.
