I really didn't think I would get this far. It's hard but, when I think of how hard I thought it was the first week I've come a long way.

So well pleased.

Keep going, it is so worthwhile.

If it is tough, just slow down.

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

An easy conversational pace is the most effective to build your stamina and endurance........faster is not better.

As long as you can speak easily you are getting enough oxygen to build your aerobic base.

Yes, 25 min seems long but I'm definitely getting better!

Hi -I felt the same all the way through ,I found every week hard but always just about doable-I started back in the first lockdown last year and I'm still but plodding on .I can say that it has been worth all the effort-you won't regret this!! Best of luck with the last couple of weeks.
