Well I wouldn't call it a run but I used the app and did try to run the minute intervals. It got easier as I went along though it was more of a shuffle than a run. Still - I enjoyed it and am looking forward to going out again on Thursday. Thanks for the encouragement!

Well done on getting out there. Potentially one of the hardest runs is the first one.

Advice is to take it slow, your runs don't need to be sprints. Trust the programme, days will seem tough and the next run look even tougher, but the programme works. Finally post your progress on here, you will get great support, and as people follow your progress is a good incentive to keep going.

Good Luck.

Shuffling gets you places 🙂

If you had both feet off the ground simultaneously at any point in time while progressing in a linear fashion - you were running :)

Well done
