Just starting out. Not exercised for years. Scary but exciting also 😏

Yes scary, yes exciting... Please do this; it's such fun and you will be repaid in bucket loads for the effort that you put in :)

I look forward to hearing how you do- this forum is invaluable in motivation, support and tough talking (if you seem to need it!)

I, and most people on here, felt pretty much the same when we started it but with each run comes stamina, endurance and sheer bloody mindedness!!

"You can and will achieve" is something which I now feel is within touching distance!!

Hi and welcome.... you are going to enjoy this:)

Follow the programme... take your rest days... listen to your body..( which will grumble at you to begin with)... post your runs for support, encouragement and the odd shove if needed :)

It is exciting.... but this is a great journey... your journey.... slow and steady... and enjoy :)
