Wk1 complete

[Jamseeboy]

last run was a slight struggle - slowed down a little and ran through the stitch that came on about run 6of8.

Looking forward to starting week 2.

Fantastic well done for completing week 1. Onwards and upwards. You can do this.

In many ways the early weeks are tough. I had issues up to week 6 and by then my body had worked through the niggles and resigned itself to the fact that I was going to continue putting it through this running lark. Follow the programme but don't be afraid to adapt it a bit if you need to. You can re-do weeks to build confidence and stamina..just do whatever you have to to stay on the programme. Doing too much too fast is not a good mantra. Slow and steady for now.

Well done. Agree with post below: slow and steady. Ran my week 1 runs with a little too much enthusiasm and could barely walk the next day with shin pains!! Now on week 9 and still sticking with slooooow steady pace. The programme works. Good luck and congratulations on completing week 1.
