Well I finally did it 😍I double bagged my boobs (2 bras) - and my Sports bra cost more than my 4 man tent . Those boobs where not moving anywhere . On a few occasions I thought I was going to die ! But I lived to tell the tale , sadly my pelvic floor didn't . Went with my daughter who looked like she was the fitness instructor and I was the fat lass behind her ! But thank you AuntyTeenTeen for getting me to do this .... I'll keep you posted ! Is there a group for week one's I'm not too technical !

Very well done for starting couch to 5k - it may be hard at times but worth it. All the best for your future runs. Not quite sure what you mean by 'group for week 1'.

We love hearing the progress from new folks. Please keep posting. Sports bras certainly are a pretty penny, but I look at them as 'safety equipment'.

And it gets easier. Getting out the door for that first one is definitely the toughest - I remember it being a real shock to my system.

I am also embarking on Day One Week One and thought I might do a trail to avoid that feeling of running on too hard a surface with too much weight. I'll bring my dog as my daughter isn't as enthused as yours!

Well done for getting started! I did my Wk1R1 on Sunday so am about to go out for R2 - it is dark and Baltic out there but I know I'll feel better when I've done it!

I'm also a big-booked lady and I never ran ANYWHERE until I got an Enell bra. When you put it on and go running you realise what it must feel like to be a man! There is absolutely no bounce at all.

I don't think it can be very good for breast tissue to bounce up and down, quite a part from being painful - Enell are a bit pricey but so very worth it.

A good sports bra is a real feat of engineering. Three cheers for those who design them! Funny way to make a living though. :)
