Advice now I’m a seasoned runner of 1 week...

This is probably obvious but I failed to recognise the problem posed by running on bin collection day, especially when narrow pavements meet busy roads. Note to self: try not to run on Friday mornings around here.

Jump in the car and run somewhere green maybe? I like to mix it up a bit so sometimes drive to the park, the river, the canal path etc. Now that days are lengthening it gives more scope. Enjoy!

Ha ha.. we have had this before... images of folk avoiding bins and bin collectors, and even one runner, who ran after the refuse lorry to tell them they had forgotten someone's bin!!

Well done you for beginning this... check this post for Newbies out...great advice here..

Slow and steady does it.... rest days to be taken between every run... and keep posting for terrific support

Maybe you havent looked ahead in the prog yet but week 5 involves sections on hurdling bins !!

(ok..ok..actually it doesn't but would be an interesting addition to the prog) 😁

Bin day! Nightmare. Elbows up 👍

Oh you& me both! Not bin day but I have tried running round the park - it's got a lake & it's really lovely but the trouble is that I'm not an early bird & by the time I get there the world & his wife are there too! I know I'm a grumpy old menopausal woman but I get really frustrated. This is why I'm going back to the gym.

Great that folk are active!

It is most likely more busy at the moment due to school and bank holidays.
