Just completed my 1st run for week 1. Haven't run for about 20years 🙈. Hope it gets easier 👍🏻👍🏻

Well done. Most people here are in the same boat. It does get easier and you will enjoy it more at the end. You already did the hardest step of all.

Me too Becki!!! Harder than i thought for day one week one - but strangely enjoyable....!!

[Becki1780 in reply to ChunkyMonkey]

Yes I agree. Hopefully I'll still feel the same after my next run on Wednesday haha

[Englishmum Graduate]

Woohoo well done. It's a great feeling isn't it?!

[Becki1780 in reply to Englishmum]

Yes I am glad I've actually started it now. Just hope I can keep it up x

[KCinMA]

Me too! I used to run track in high school and it was easy! Now, I am wondering how I EVER did that. I also just did my first run for week 1. Ugly...just ugly.

[RuthMargaret Graduate]

Yes it does - I've NEVER run before, even at school. I've made it to week 7, that's longer than any other exercise regime I've ever tried before.

Keep at it!

[Becki1780 in reply to RuthMargaret]

That's amazing - well done!!!

Well done ☺

I did up to w2r2 but my knees couldnt take it, wish id done more w1 before i moved up. Been waiting 9 days for knees to feel ok enough to start again, am not a happy bunny 😕

Just trying to say, take your time, dont push too hard and good luck 😊

Have you got correct trainers? It might be worth finding your nearest run shop that offers gait analysis. Running on the wrong shoes can do damage.

[joblueeyes63 in reply to seven9zero]

I think it was because i was away on w2 and the ground was quite uneven 😕

[seven9zero in reply to joblueeyes63]

Fingers crossed but please don't leave it too long if you've not been checked.

[Becki1780 in reply to joblueeyes63]

Oh no - hope your knees are better soon x.

I'll take my time if need be - thanks xx
