I started just before Christmas and did my first week 3 run this week. I never thought I would be able to run the three minutes but I did and I didn't end up in a heap! Doing second one this afternoon! And in daylight, lol! I can't believe how good it makes me feel.

I've just started today and it'd great to share the journey. Best wishes

[Scrappydee1 Graduate in reply to ZappierParsley]

good luck : )

[21shaza in reply to ZappierParsley]

How did it go today ?

[ZappierParsley in reply to 21shaza]

it was really good ta. I took the slow jog literally and made it to the end which was a great sense of achievement. Let us know how tomorrow goes for you.

[21shaza in reply to ZappierParsley]

Better taking it slow jog and completing it than going too

fast and giving up , so good on you

Hi 21shaza, although it says Graduate on my profile that was over a year ago and I haven't done any running since then so I'm going back to the start like any newbie.

I've just completed my 3rd W1 run so will be starting W2 on Tuesday

[21shaza in reply to mcc65]

We'll done on starting it over again. Sure you can do it again good luck

[21shaza]

Hi folks lots of replies that's nice to see. How did everyone go on latest run ? I'm looking forward to starting tomorrow .we can do this

[DEZZICK]

Hi yes started last Monday and came home looking like a cherry! It does get easier as the week goes on,

[21shaza in reply to DEZZICK]

Lol this sounds like what I will be like, I always look like a tomato if I excercise

[AaronR]

Hi! Just starter last Monday,start week 2 tomorrow!

[misswobble Graduate in reply to AaronR]

Wow! I'm gobsmacked by the number of new runners. Happy running everyone. You've come to the right place to find support for your efforts to lose weight, giving up the fags, becoming runners and getting healthy. Way to go!

[gblackman]

I'm starting today as well - my husband and I are going to start together. We went to Runners Need on the weekend to make sure we were getting the right shoes. I'm excited to see how it goes!

[gblackman in reply to gblackman]

Did my first run! I struggled a bit in the middle, but actually more with the walking in between and it hurting my feet, by the time I started the last 60 second run, it actually felt pretty good. And not too sore today. Looking forward to Wednesday!

[21shaza]

We'll done my first run today, I knew it would be hard but gosh I am unfit . Managed it though yippee (although there was the odd blip in my jog that slowed down) hopefully can stick to the plan and see an improvement in my fitness. Hope everyone's run went well today

[NinjaLampie]

I started tonight! Did my first run of my adult life... wasn't too horrible. I was actually amazed that I managed it

[janied]

I did my second run of week one last night and then slept for a whole 8 hours without waking once, that is a record for me!! so pleased I've started running again, feels so good can't imagine why i gave it up. Good luck everyone

[ra220 Graduate]

Hi 21shaza (+ everyone else)!

I started the programme on Monday and have just done W1R3. Feels good to have done it, but still a long way from the end! It's nice to know someone is around the same point as me! How are you getting on?

[Kalypso Graduate]

Hi all,

yes I've just started too, felt good despite the pouring rain. it was too wet to take my phone for the podcast so I just guessed the timings, hoping it wasnt too easy or too hard. hoping to do W1R2 tomorrow.
