In many ways that's the hardest run - just getting out there and the body doing something it hasn't done in a long time. Congratulations - and good luck!

Well done. The soreness does go. Remember those muscles haven't been Put to use in a while so you will ache. Mine stopped beginning of week 3 :) Keep going x

Well done, keep it up. Slow and steady and you will do it.

Congrats on getting started! The soreness goes after a while, those muscles just need breaking in a little. Good luck with the programme :)

Congratulations. It is a great feeling when you've got out there & done your first one isn't it? I ached terribly after my first but it does get better. Look after yourself on your rest days & you'll be fine. Good luck!

Welcome to the programme and well done on getting started. Week by week you will surely see improvement. Use this forum for support and encouragement and be absolutely sure to take your rest days - they are very important. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Best wishes.
