I've just started my first week today, wow it was tough but I did it. Looking forward to my next run/walk. The music on the podcast is great and the lady really motivates me to keep going.πŸ˜„

Well done getting started :)

Week 1 is hard going.

Go slow, slow, slow and then....? Yep! Slow!

It is a great programme, I fell out a bit with Laura last week on week 5 run 3 but she's redeemed herself today! Trust her, she can definitely lead you through it :)

Good luck x

Well done Tilly. It is a great program.

Listen to Laura's advice and take things slow and steady.. you will love being able to run. It is not always easy but it is always doable if you follow the plan.

Keep posting for encouragement and advice. :)
