I have never been able to run, I’m 51 so not fully confident of doing this challenge but really determined. Just managed the first session and that was ok.

You're quite young on here. Cheese is a good reason to run.

Be positive! Can-do rather than can’t-do attitude is rather a must for this caper

51 is no age, so give that one up as an excuse for anything 😁

You only do this very slowly and steadily from start to finish, so no need to push at all. That’s good news isn’t it 😃👍🏃‍♀️

Big smile across your face and go ........ have fun 🙂

Well done, that’s great. 👏👏 I am in my mid-late 50’s and have just made it to week 4, it’s important to go slow and don’t be afraid to take your time working through the program if that’s what you need to do. Good luck and enjoy your running 🏃🏻‍♀️
