Well done for doing Day 1 run 1. You will do it. Just take one run at a time. Commit to it. Run slowly. You can work on your speed later. Concentrate on running slowly for the time allotted. High five!

Hi Nessie and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on “getting out there”

Trust me when I say I am no fan of exercise.. but, (and I’m new to this) I can FEEL the difference in my mental wellbeing. It gives you something positive to concentrate/focus on, and the people on this forum are SO supportive! I hope you stick with it. Go nice and slow and make sure you take the rest days so your muscles can heal.
