Week 1 run 1 :)

[Sureucan]

Done my first run today didn't stop sweating afterwards for longer than i was out but really enjoyed the feeling walking back to the house. This is something i'm determined to see through

Thanks scruffy ...I have always held people that run long distances with the utmost admiration...dont see me ever hitting the dizzy heights of 25k but hey you never know ...

[Scruffy64 Graduate in reply to Sureucan]

They all started at the beginning, gradually building up distance. Are you using the podcasts or an app to help you through this? I'm not speedy or planning to run a marathon, but I can run for 5K (very slowly) now, and I started the programme in May.

[Sureucan in reply to Scruffy64]

Just downloaded the app thanks scruffy

Excellent stuff Sureucan

Well done on making the hardest decision (getting off the couch and out the door!)

I think we were all exactly the same as you, sweating a lot (and puffing & panting!) but around week 2 you will find that stops and you will cope with it much better.

Don't forget to make sure you jog along at a nice slow, steady pace and don't try to run too quick and you will find you'll be completing the weeks without too much trouble and stay injury free.

Good luck and enjoy run 2!
