I did it I survived my first 'run'

Had a bit of trouble with the app as it stopped half way!! Not sure why but head phones came out of socket

The last couple of 60 sec runs were easier than the first ones :)

Think i am going to have sore legs tomorrow!!

Awesome job. That is one of the hardest runs out the way. I could hardly breathe during that first session. It will get easier. Don't give up just trust the program. You got this!

Thank you. I was really out of breath after first 2 or 3 60sec runs but after that they were easier - think i sorted how to breath and ran slower. Next run on Monday as at work next 2 days :( hope i can walk tomorrow :) thanks for your support.

Just remember to stretch before you go out and after when you get back helps to stop the tight aches. A bah may help too.

I am in week 8 now running 28 min and first 5 min are still a killer to get into rhythm and settle brea thing. Keep going. The program works enjoy the milestones x

Best and hardest run you’ll do - taking the first step is the hardest and if you’re a little sore then rest up and go out next time when you’re feeling relaxed and good to go.

Congrats and well done on getting out there

Check which version of the app you've got. The first app I had kept crashing half way through and then I changed to the public health England one and have had no problems since. Well done on getting started, keep up the good work x
