New start.

Ive just started the journey again today after a failed attempt in the summer. I got my new pushchair, strapped the little one in, and found my self jogging on and off for 40 mins whilst pushing a 2 stone toddler! My first attempt was horrific and really put me off, but decided to go for it today, and made a mini accomplishment, hope to make many more! Hope you all had a happy Sunday 👍

Hi, that's great you had a more positive experience.

It sounds as though you might be choosing another route into running/increased activity than the NHS C25K though - and there are of course lots of ways into it. There's nothing wrong with carrying on walking for longer after your C25K session but most people have a better chance of sustaining and improving their activity if they stick to the programme instead of approaching it in a more random fashion.

Obviously it can be a challenge to meet another's needs at the same time but some people have done the programme with a pushchair in front of them. Many of us only put one earbud in for safety anyway, so you'd still be able to hear and converse.

I'm in week 2 but I've been doing it on a treadmill in the garage. I think you have inspired me to try it outside this week with my pram and little one

Definitely! It's fun, not as boring as the treadmill, when were out, we see chickens, turkeys, feed the ducks, play on the park, just wrap lil one up nice and warm 😊 x

I have to leave one ear bud in, my toddler likes to chat! What's that? Every 5 seconds, I am doing Run zombie and accidentally done week three not week one 😳 lol. I done week one today, much better for my sore legs after yesterday.
