I am slightly astonished that I managed to complete my first run, only 8 minutes in total I know, but I am super unfit & cannot remember the last time I ran πŸ™ˆ #beetrootface

Well done on getting started, that 1st step is the hardest.

Onwards and upwards, or, as my son would say "to infinity and beyond" ☺

Beetroot face does not go away, it just takes longer to go red once you're running longer! Welcome to the family! 😈

Well done πŸ‘I was the same before my 1st run, only on week 2 but actually feel fitter already.

Good luck ☺

I lasted 27 seconds on my first run , I'm not exaggerating. Took me 2 weeks to get through it BUT I never gave up !!

I had a fall last year and I couldn't run for 6 months , but before that my longest run was 6.5K non stop .... to think I went from 27 seconds to that far , believe me , I was so proud of myself . It didn't take me 9 weeks to run 5k , it took me 6 months .
