Week 1 completed!

[81Daffs]

Hello! I'm 37, and as I have been gently expanding for the last couple of years I felt now was time to do something about it. I've always been put off running by treadmills in the gym and the fact it triggers my asthma in a way a cross-trainer or cycling doesn't. But with the podcast and the lovely little park at the end of my road, I've managed to complete week one. It's been a revelation exercising outdoors, and I've enjoyed seeing the range in ages and fitness of the other people running around the park. Plus listening to the birds chirping as I cool-down. Now for some new trainers and week 2!

Welcome and well done! It was such a beautiful spring morning today - I was glad to be out and running. Take it easy (no need to push the speed) and enjoy the programme! I'm in week 7 and going strong.
