Re: W1R1 failed - but not giving up!

Re: Complete beginner!! Needing some reassurance!!

I'm on week 4 run 2 today. I find that the first run of the week is the hardest, but by the end of the week I'm usually looking forward to the next week for a bit more of a challenge. This will all change next week when the whole week isn't the same workout! Just follow the program, don't go ahead i...
