Finished week 1 & feeling amazing! I’ve never been able to run - always think i look silly & doesn’t help that i am so unfit. I decided that this was the year I’d get my butt in gear & give couch to 5k a go. Slowly but surely i am gaining confidence & i know this is going to be the year that i will run 5k with out dying after 100m!!!

Well done on getting your first week done. We all think we look silly and then honestly after a while you don’t care.

The other day whilst wearing what I hopes make me look like a stealth ninja, a guy in hi vis safety gear, looked startled when I overtook him. He then said to his hi vis mate that he’d just been buzzed by a lady fly! Not so much a ninja as a bluebottle...

I hope your confidence continues to grow and that your next runs are good ones.

Well done on starting at this time of year too, it’s always that much harder when it’s cold.

Happy running
