Hi, I did my run 1 week 4 today and like you I struggled on the last run. Also 5.4 and just under 15 stone. When I first started this app I really found it difficult but was starting to improve so was a little down about today's run. My plan is to keep repeating this run until I can do it comfortabl...

Thank you Runkat.

Despina, I struggled on week 3 and can't see me managing week 4. My plan is to see how it goes and just keep repeating it until I feel comfortable to move on. I believe a few people have done the same. We'll get there eventually

I've just finished week 3 and although completed each run I struggled
on the last 3 minute run. Can't see how I'm going to manage 5 mins on Sunday. Will be disappointed in myself if I can't complete it. Seeing everyone else's post though really keeps me determined to carry on.

Thank you. Struggled a bit on my run today but still managed to complete it.

Looking forwa...

Thank you so much for the replies. It's really encouraging to read how eveyone else is getting on and their experiances. I just did week 2 run 3 today it was a struggle but think I will just keep repeating this until I feel comfortable enough to move on. I can't imagine how I will ever reach week 9 ...

Hi, I'm new to running and hardly get any exercise. Ive just started week 2 and struggling mainly with my breathing. I'm really struggling to do the 1 and half min. Does it get easier? Any tips to help with my breathing? Has anyone found they need to repeat weeks? I think I may need too Thank you :0)
