Brilliant thanks for sharing I'm 2 days away from the same 20min run

Keep positive it's an inspiration to all of us, I'd try low impact high cardiovascular so you don't lose your fitness

Week 4 was tough, but keep going week 5 is easier ........ So far

I'm on wk5 day 2 tomorrow

Go for it I'm right behind you and need to know it's doable lol

week seven? im running as fast as i can

ok well im on week 5 day 1, completed it this morning, it wasn't too bad, week 4 was harder. Got aches in my back, calves, and now outside my right foot, gotta smile though my body is coping well carrying all that weight. not noticed any difference in body measurements yet but i definitely feel better, and the high after completing each day is superb. its funny i always post how im dreading tomorrow and then i complete it anyway, fair enough its hard but its only 1 minute at a time, one section at a time, one day at a time. i know how hard it can be to have to restart from the begining so thats what is keeping me going, i am aware that at some stage i may have to repeat a week but thats not a fail. i remember from my fit days 20 years ago how much i loved being fit and how much energy i had and i need that back.

week 5 day 1 completed this morning and it felt easier than week 4. lovely

week 5 day 1 completed this morning and it felt easier than week 4. lovely

did it! and it wasnt so baD, hard yes but not as bad as i thought it would be, in truth i think wk4 was worse. keep posting guys

Great read, doing week 5 day 1 today and dreading it

Well done, I'm at the same hideous place lol. Week 4 was very hard. Starting week 5 today and dreading it

Day 1 just completed, it was as hard as I expected but I did it. Those 5 minute section I mentally thought of as 3mins and then only 2 minutes that way I knew I could do them. Sweating like a fat man on a treadmill. Keep it up guys, one step at a time

It's funny looking back my comments at the beginning and end of weeks are similar

Week 3 completed, today is my first 5 min jog not looking forward to it.

Eat bananas the potassium stops cramp

Wk3 day 1 no problem ☺

Love following this, very inspirational

Lol just noticed the date is May

That's awesome, you are a week in front of me and I'm dreading week 3 but maybe not as much now. Keep posting

I have a similar thing in very cold weather and found it was solved by breathing through something like a neck tube

I've found an elasticated back support for the first section works then take it off

Your doing well, I'm a few days in front of you and yes it requires some hard work but it's definitely not as hard as you think. I've noticed my max heart rate has dropped and the recovery is faster.

I'm doing OK, for a 46 yr old carrying 5 stones too much. Not run for 20 years so it's not easy, but it is possible one step at a time, I break it down into 30 second countdowns in my head. Fast walk to the gym for the warm up then the rest on the treadmill followed by walk home. I've tried dieting and always pile it back on so it's this or nothing now. I will admit I'm dreading week 3 with the 3 minute jogs.

im right there behind you
