Did my first run yesterday, returning to the canal a little further along to have a change in scenery. legs were like jelly when I finished, pushed through that five/ten minute gremlin , seemed a little easier. completed the run.

O yes I am counting down lol, I been using a piece of advice I read on here a bit back, about those gremlins, I was not in pain, not out of breath (to much), I slowed down a bit more and tol gremlins to get lost.
Best of luck, let me know how you get on though Im sure you will do okay.
Done my Run 1 this evening and it was tough - breathing was up & down ( is out of breath) slowed down to recover but I just felt physically tired today, I think it was a mixture of things - had a busy weekend it was non stop, pain in my top right leg & I just felt out of sorts but I did it, but it was a struggle. Well done you (think I might try that with those gremlins). 😃
MM been mulling over actually reaching 5K lol, then maybe a park run AND THEN home run next year which is a 10K run. O I have also been thinking about joining local running club but am a little concerned due to my age.
Don't wait! Go along to your local parkrun now, you'll love it. (...and don't worry about not having run 5k yet - there will likely be loads of people walking before you do!)
