W1 R1 I did it!!!

β€’24 Replies

Just completed my first run and it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be :) I went slowly and although I'm a bit sore now I feel great!

Thanks to everyone for your advice and support :)

Well done πŸ‘πŸΌ

That first run is always the hardest as it's the first step to becoming the new you.

Slow and steady for the upcoming runs and you'll soon see how wonderful this program is!!

Keep posting so we can all revel in your achievements 😊

Well done!! It’s a great programme so keep it up, you’ve made a great start. Your muscles will be a bit sore and disgruntled at first, just make sure you do some stretching to ease them off a little bit. Sx

Thank you! Useful to know to continue stretching. I'm planning on going on a gentle walk tomorrow to loosen up.

I always stretch afterwards. Didn’t do it got my very first run and was waddling about like a geriatric penguin for a couple of days. Now I’ve learned my lesson πŸ˜‚

Haha I did stretch after so hopefully I won't be following suit!!

Thanks Nicky! I felt like I could have done a little more but I didn't push it so that's a nice place to be! Cute cat btw :)

I've got a ten year old dog and rescued a black cat two years ago. Couldn't be without him now! Recently returned from a week away and the difference between a dog and cats welcome back is hilarious! πŸ˜‚
