Well I did it. Actually apart from my shins and knee hurting at last 2 runs it was fine. Felt really good afterwards. Need some trousers anyone got any cheapish ones they can recommend.

Well done. Lidl were doing running leggings at 5.99. I bought 2 pair. Tkmaxx always good 👍😊

I really like Tesco leggings - they often have sales on.

Supermarkets and online sales are all good places to look. Lidl and Aldi run gear is very good but sporadic in-store. I would suggest making sure any you do buy have a drawcord inside the waist to make sure they stay in place 😀. If it doesn't have one you could insert one into the internal waistline (use a long boot lace or similar).

That is a good tip. It's so annoying having to stop to pull them up.

I second Aldi........most of my running gear is from them.

Have you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which is full of tips.
