Did not include my 500m warm up and 500m cool down. Just my running. No guide - just set my alarm for 15minutes and ran. Now I'm looking at the numbers realisticaly there’s truly still a lot of work to do!

You are doing fine. Did you think that you would be able to run for that long 3 months ago? Don't worry about the rest of it, you will improve as you go along. I think we should only think about one thing at a time with running, either time, distance or speed. If you try to improve all 3 at once it is a recipe for injury, but if you just concentrate on one then the others will catch up all by themselves. Focus on enjoying the running, because that is the main thing that will keep us fit and healthy for longer. We'll done. 👍👍👍

One of the reasons I use it still!! If I can make someone chuckle then I have done my job for the day. I can go to bed happy now... Well, after I have done my run of course!!

Still more of a fast shuffle than a run!

Your just returning to running after two operations and kidney stones. I think you did really well. Just build back up nice and slow . 😊😊

Thanks - I waited out the rain so it was cool and fresh.

It will come, I’m finding that I’m getting a bit further and faster every week as my weight drops. You’re doing it which is the important thing and as you keep doing it you will get better.

You are doing great. Everyone has their own agenda for running and as we are not in an Olympic team our main target should be enjoyment. Happy running
