Just started at the beginning of week and completed Wk1 R2 yesterday! I won’t pretend it’s easy but I’ve always wanted to say “I’m just off for a run” but I kinda thought I’m to old to start now, but here I am giving it a shot!

My inspiration as a nurse I would like to find a buddy who would join me in a Marie Curie fund raising challenge and do something exciting and worthwhile 😊👍🏿

I won't be taking any of that "too old" nonsense. Yes the programme is a challenge for many but it is carefully calibrated and you will soon find your fitness improving. You'll be doing charity runs in no time at all

Thanks for all the encouragement it’s a real motivator 😊

I have just started and completed week one. I wonder what week two will be like, I am thinking I might need to repeat week one as I have never run before

[Hidden in reply to Burnhambeach]

Just stick to the program it works... as long as you complete each run with a rest day in between you will be fine x congratulations on starting x

Hi. I have never run before either and am the most exercise phobic person you could meet! I did my w2 r2 yesterday. This is no lie, if I can do it, you honestly can! It is a little more difficult but no different than you felt w1 r1. Try it. Good luck.

Thanks for that I will and will let you know how I get on. It will be Saturday

[Burnhambeach in reply to Assumpta888]

Did my week two run one today and it was good I really feel I am making progress

[Burnhambeach]

I have completed week one and tomorrow will start week two. I am a bit apprehensive as I have never run before but I will give it my best

I don’t think I ever get tired of hearing newbie posts. I love em! I remember how excited I was, the trepidation, the frisson of being scared but giggly at the thought of sneaking off to the woods like a ninja in my never before worn Lycra 😃

Good luck folks. Have fun out there. “Slow but sure” be thy mantra 👍🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️✔️
