Hi everyone, I've just started the Couch to 5k programme, and completed the first run this evening! It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, still hard, but I made it 😊

I'm struck by your comment! I honestly NEVER thought jog/running was something I could do but am inspired and excited to be amazed at what I hope I can do at the end!

Well done! 👍

Well done you on joining the best runners club ever. Even better you ran and did your first one and that's always the hardest step to take. Good luck for the next one

Thanks everyone! I've never been keen on running, but I know so many people that love it, so I thought it was worth a shot!
