Hi and welcome!

Well done for getting out there. Just follow the wise words of the other replies and you'll get there ... and remember every time you go for a run, be it short or long, you are one step (excuse the pun) nearer your goal.

Good luck and happy running!

Well done, and keep going. I am only a couple of weeks ahead of you and have found this group invaluable in making me think I am not mad and I can do it.

Well done. It is a challenge being over 50 but second run tonight 😊

W1R1 is definitely the hardest run, mentally and physically. Well done for getting out there :-)

You've done the hard bit by getting out the front door for the first Time, always so easy to find something else to do. I'm dreading my first rainy run night.

Not what you're looking for?
