So week 1 day 1 complete. Managed all the runs and found it very tough as Iโ€™ve never run before! Hoping it gets easier over time! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

You get stronger.... much stronger! Keep it slow and steady and take those rest days.... some extra exercise on rest days, non impact,, swim, or cycle, or walk, or do yoga..your stamina has to build as does your strength!

Well done:)
