Oh no, poor you! That must be so annoying. Haha, I remember a time when I would've LOVED to have been diagnosed with an injury that meant I wasn't allowed to exercise, but now it sounds like the worst thing ever. Hope you get back on the road soon. In the meantime, maybe you could go swimming gently...

Did my second run first thing in the morning and felt great all day. Looking forward to W1R3 already.

The day that I run 30 minutes without stopping is the day I buy myself a gorgeous Alex Monroe necklace that I've had my eye on. Saving up while I run! I'll also give myself a reward after four weeks, I think - maybe a piece of proper running gear, given that currently I'm running in an old tracksuit...

I've felt so g...

Congratulations! That's really heartening to read - I just did my second run of week one this morning, and it's so exciting to see where I could end up. Well done for completing the whole programme, and for enjoying it too!

Sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it recently and I wanted to canvas opinions. I just did my first session yesterday and had lots of people say to me that the first run is the hardest. Obviously I'm hoping that's true! But people who are a bit further along the track, which r...

Congratulations! I just started too - and ran my first session this morning. The fifth running minute was the hardest, I thought, but once I got over that hump it was a lot easier! Having a warm bath to try to save my muscles for tomorrow... and then running again on Tuesday, eek!
