New and looking forward to the next 9 weeks!

Used to be quite fit and walked for miles but a couple of years ago I stopped and I found it hard to get back on track. Looking forward to following this programme and to get back to my old self!

I literally just started on Monday tis week.

AM only at W1R1 but am looking forward to getting out tomorrow.

And with my lifestyle and 20+ years of no fitness you can definitely do it !!

And the support from everyone on here is great !

Hi and welcome... what a lovely happy, "I am going to do this " smile!

Slow and steady... take your rest days...( extra non-impact exercise on those days will help too)...follow the programme..., don't push too hard, and listen to your body!

Please, do keep posting for great support and encouragement... we are all on this terrific running journey together.. whatever stage we are at

Thank you! I've done my first run today, first day of the first week and I must say it showed me how unfit I am as I was delighted when the cool down started!

I'm ready to do this though, the thought of being able to run for half an hour in 2 months time and the support from you all lovely people will keep me going ☺☺
