Eleven days ago I downloaded this app & did my very first run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ! Then for the next 48 hours I was in bed with a really horrid bug. It took me another couple of days just getting my strength back. So for my next run, almost a week after the first, I repeated run one.

I then really got into the ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ! W1R3 โœ”๏ธ Later today, I am about to start wk 2! I am looking forward to starting a new week; these little things are milestones for me.

Have a great day ๐Ÿ˜‰. H x.

ps: anyone reading this at the same point in the programme could connect, Iโ€™ll follow back!

Itโ€™s not a race so just take your time. Trust in the programme and listen to the expert advice you find here and youโ€™ll be fineโ€ฆ. If I can do it, everyone can!

Yes good luck but take care and listen to your body particularly your heels.I got to the same point then disaster struck I damaged my Achilleas and so far itโ€™s been 6 weeks of pain and discomfort and still not managed to get back.

According to my physio I should have taken those little feelings of sore heels more seriously and rested longer.

Still it wonโ€™t put me off canโ€™t wait to get back

I'm about to do week 2 run 2 today. At least that's the plan but I haven't looked out the window yet. Just about managed run 1 on Monday.

Hi Thank you for asking,

I have not been able to go out for the last 5 days, so I am wanting to go soon otherwise Iโ€™ll be back to square one.

Iโ€™ll try my hardest to get out tomorrow.

Today wonโ€™t work with the daylight hours & my job.

Iโ€™m going to repeat W3R3 when I go, as I think with missing many days & the big jump in minutes I will really struggle.

How are you getting on?
