Huge impact already!!

I was doing the school run today and my daughter asked me to run between the lamposts and trees with her. Usually I would have been very out of breath or not joined in and made pushing my son in the pram an excuse. Not today! I joined in and although I was a bit achy after I had great fun with her! Can’t believe the impact running is having already and it’s only week 1! Small steps but steps no less!

Well done! It only gets better fitness-wise! Some of the runs are harder than others but its always an upward curve! Well as far as week five run one anyway - that's how far myself and my wife have got!

Wow! I can imagine that some of them are harder but can’t believe how quickly my fitness levels have improved however small.

That is such good news ramsgaterunner79 . Your daughter will enjoy having you run around with her. Next thing you know you'll be doing buggy running and park run. ;-)
