I'm still repeating Week 3. I've managed it three times, all according to instructions, amazingly, but I want to run Week 3 runs a few more times until I feel ready to move on. Week 4 looks scary!

Well done!

Well done indeed! I couldn't complete a single one minute run when I first started, but I've now done two 3 minute runs on two occasions. It really does get easier.

Thanks for your support and encouragement guys. This app and this Forum are really making this whole experience so motivating.

So I did 8 Week1 runs in all. I've now done 8 Week2 runs and have just done my third complete one of t...

I repeated Week 1 three times, until I could actually sustain eight one minute runs on three occasions. I'm now into my second go at Week 2 and so far the best I've managed is five minute and a half runs. So some way to go before I achieve a perfect Week 2 and move on! My breathing is improving, but...

Thanks for your concern, Starknut. I left off running for a complete week, and when my cold had pretty much passed I did another run. Pleasantly surprised that I managed my Week 2 run almost exactly the same as pre cold. Not quite fully according to instructions but pretty good. Since then I missed ...

Thanks. I hope you feel much better soon too.
