I did week 2 run 1 tonight and it was not good - I really struggled. I suspect I'll be repeating this week too. I'll try again on Thurs hopefully I'll do a bit better. I must admit I find it easier at the weekend rather than after a days work. I'm going to keep going tho!

2nd run of week 3. Managed it but it is hard, how did you get on bex? Looked at week 4, don't know why just wanted to scare myself I think. 5 mIns and 3 mins oh my god think I may be stuck on week 3 for a while. Never mind I'm enjoying it and losing a little weight too!!!! Keep going everyone. :)

Decided to repeat week 2, week 3 looked too scary. Repeated run 1 week 2 today and it felt easier. I have not lost any weight yet though :cry: has anyone noticed any change in body shape? I am hoping for a miracle! Legs, abs and arms minus the wobbly bits.

I managed to complete week 3 Plummy :D I did my 3rd run on Saturday and to be honest I think Im more than petrified of starting week 4 lol.
Ive been good and rested since saturday apart from the gym and I nearly went for a run today but changed my mind when I tried running to my car and couldnt hardly lift my legs let alone run :?
I think its cos of a cold Ive started and everything feels heavy.
So anyway Im gonna leave my run till tomorrow eve (dare I say this and hope it rains too, I love running in the rain)and Im deffinately going to repeat week 3(as Im too much of a scaredy cat to try week 4 yet)
Anyway 'yay us!!' for getting this far :lol:

P.S Ive not lost ANY weight yet but Ive definately gone down 1 dress size possibly 2. My body shape has changed so much, Ive now got a much flatter tummy and my saddlebags are shifting ( does a silly dance round the room 'yay me')
Im not sure if its a myth or not but Ive been told fat turns to muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. So thats what Im choosing to believe :lol:

I am in total agreement about muscle weighing more than fat. I can get my belt done up tighter now. Well done for losing 2 dress sizes hope that happens to me. I ran in light rain this morning it was great.
We're all doing fantastic, all at our own pace, which is how it should be we're all different. I must admins I am quite enjoying it and can't wait for my next run

Hey all completed w3r1 today really proud I managed 3 mins w4 looks so scary tho since I struggled with completing the 2 nd 3 min run only managed it as I'd overtook some walkers and was determined not to walk infront of them (despite my breathless excuse me lol) how have you all found it?
