Hi Helen,

Good work! Hope you are enjoying it so far? Patience and persistence is key. Running has really transformed my life! Go slow and steady and pretty soon you will start noticing improvements and increased fitness. Yay!

Hello thank you for your reply, yes I’m enjoying it so far but sometimes find it hard to get motivated. Hope I can keep it up

Hello and welcome to a brave new world. This running thing will probably change your life, for the better.

A big well done in starting and for getting the first week done (the hardest IMO)

Take your rest days, work through the programme, don't skip runs and stretch after each run. Post here to tell us how you're doing and be prepared to become a bit running obsessed 😏

Thank you for your reply. I’ve enjoyed the first week but sometimes find it hard to get going! I’m ok when I’ve started. Need to lose weight so really want to keep it up
