Re: Halfway through the programme
Thanks for the post Madeline and well done to you too! Yes the five minute run I slow up considerably as so I can complete the run! I love when the talking coach says youve ran twice the amount you did last week, and I have to think about it and say to myself Oh yeah! I know we can get to the finish...

Halfway through the programme

Slow Start
Hi I am on Week 3 of this program at the moment. I wondered if anyone can tell me why am I slow at the start of a run but seem to speed up towards the end?
