I completed this programme two years ago and loved it - could not believe the difference it made in my life....then things got in the way and in May I fractured my shoulder so no running - the result is over 2 stone weight gain and I don't feel as good as I did....so today I started again in the excellent London raining conditions....just need the motivation to stick with it !!
Perhaps it only feels more difficult because you're comparing it with how you felt at your peak? You must have fond memories of running once you'd mastered the programme before - but may have brushed aside thought of how hard it was initially. I'm sure it will come back soon
“Suddenly, I was part of something. I was part of the running community. The more open I was about my running, the more open others were about theirs. I found out that runners love to talk about running.”
