I finally managed w6r1 today (I say finally - actually only a day behind schedule, but I was so desperate to keep going that it felt like ages!). I know exactly what you mean about the walks feeling harder now. I remember when the walks were welcome relief, but now they just annoy me! Considering go...

Hope everyone is doing OK - I have developed a SHOCKER of a cold and have been feeling rough since Friday night :( meant to run today but everything is so bunged up I don't know if I can! Going to see how I feel after work... but it's rotten to feel like I can't go out and run, ugh, I just want to g...

CONGRATULATIONS! That's a brilliant time, especially considering you've not been running for all that long. You look so happy with your medal! Such an inspiration x

Well done! You're done with the intervals now - that must feel so good. Thanks for the luck - I did feel so proud of myself to complete w5r3!

WELL DONE for keeping going Hostiemostie, I know exactly how hard it is to have to skip back a bit and find it all a bit of a struggle again. But you're doing the right thing for your body and showing great resilience in keeping going, and you'll reap the rewards when your fitness is stronger and yo...

Thanks so much guys! Did it today and it was AWESOME! So glad that you did it too Dixie! Yes I'm in Edinburgh, so 7am feels pretty damn early, especially now the mornings are getting so dark! But I'm always knackered after work so I have to get it in before I head off in the mornings. Actually funni...

Hurray, I did it too! Go us! It was brilliant! I felt the same as you about it actually, the first 5 minutes I was really unsure. I kept feeling phantom pains in my legs (entirely down to nerves) and thinking 'oh no, I'm not going to be able to do this', and I just felt really sluggish. I kept telli...

Dixie that's crazy! I was meant to do w5r2 on Tuesday but it was raining so hard that I gave it a miss. I'll be out at 7am on Friday... earlier than usual so I can avoid too many people seeing me looking even more like a puffed-out tomato than I normally do. We can report back here when we're done! ...

Oh no, poor you! Are you feeling better now? I had to go back a week too, early on, when I was ill - I had to repeat week 2 and go from there. By the end of it I was so sick of the intervals! But I'm glad I did it because I think it's given me a really solid fitness foundation and stopped me from pu...

Well done! I'm tackling this one on Thursday, feeling a bit nervous about it!
