Well I've done it, I've started. Finished work yesterday and went straight to the gym and just did it. Having never run before I was a bit apprehensive and it wasn't easy but I felt so great at the end. Sarah Millican kept me on track and I had great running tracks (as people on here said that was important) and they certainly worked.

Brilliant! Well done you! I used SM as my coach too... loved her!๐Ÿคฃ

Keep reading and posting on the forum because youโ€™ll pick up so many useful tips.

Keep very hydrated (even on rest days) make sure you do take those rest days(!) and donโ€™t forget: slow and steady wins this particular race. Good luck!๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
