There is now substantial evidence of the positive impact of exercise (and running specifically) on mental as well as physical health, So keep pressing on! Slowly, slowly and you will make progress...and this forum will help.

Clever you. It is great to hear about someone who find out about the cause of their bad health, is prepared to do something about it, actually does something about it and then reaps the reward. Way to go 👍

I also did W1R2 today but found it a huge effort - love walking fast but jogging (snail’s pace really!) seems so difficult and wonder how I’m ever going to get fitter. Feel bit despondent at the mo., but must keep going, as I’m sure lot of people felt like this during first week?

Not what you're looking for?
