W8 R3 Why isn't it getting easier!
Hi I'm really struggling now. I did W8R1 ok - just but the next 2 have been really tough and I've had to stop a few minutes early or during the run to catch my breath. I've tried slowing down but it's still really hard. Anyone else experienced this 'wall', its really frustrating!

Week 6 Run 3 Done! Week 7 here I come!
Can't believe I've done it - I struggled with the last few runs but pushed on and did it! Oddly the first 10 mins were the hardest, then I found my groove and it was ok until the final 1 min. Looking forward to the next one now.

Re: Struggling!!
I'm also where you ate and struggling too. I'm really not enjoying it, it's so hard. I thought it would get easier but I think I've just leveled off. I thought I was going to be sick at the end of the last run. I guess we just need to push on. Best of luck to you!

Re: W4R2 harder than W4R2 :-(
Yes I survived and ran another day, and another. I just finished my first 20 min run and it was fine (had to slow down a few times). I'm over the moon and so glad I kept going because I almost gave up - a few times. How are you getting along? It definitely gets easier not harder as you increase time..

Oh my god! I just ran for 20 mins!!
Can't believe I did it! I had a huge smile on my face for the last minute. It's been hard going for me and I almost gave ups few times early but I pushed through (finding a running buddy really helped) and it was ok. Hard in parts but I slowed down a little a few times, once I was past the half way ...

Re: All done
Wow! I'm so inspired by you, well done! I've got the big. 2-0 run on Tuesday and can't believe I've got this far. I hit the wall a few times and almost gave up but didn't. I really hope, like you I graduate. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Wk 5 run 1
Just about to move to W5R1 and I'm scared. Thought I might throw up last night after my run! 20mins non stop - eek!

W4R2 harder than W4R2 :-(
Found it hard today. Breathing all out, felt sick, got a stitch and my app kept stoping and messing up - annoying. Hope Sunday is better, otherwise I'll have to repeat W4. Disapointed as my previous one was my best yet and I felt like I had improved.

Week 4 Run 1 - I did it
Really struggled with week 2 and almost gave up! So glad I didn't because I just completed W4R2 and it was tough but I did it and really enjoyed it. It's great to really notice yourself getting fitter and better. Feeling great for now.
Keep up the good work everyone - we can do it!

Re: Help!Week 2 and already struggling!
Hi there No I haven't given up but almost did! I had a break of 5 days because I was away and knew if I didn't do it as soon as I got back I would never do it. Unbelievably I found it easier than all the rest! I'm so pleased I pushed on. How are you getting on with repeating week 3? If I can do it, ...
