Hello!! I’m new to all this 😊

[JaneE71]

I really don’t think I would’ve got started without finding all you amazing bunch on here with your fantastic advice and motivation!! I had downloaded the C25K app before....and that was it to be honest....so to now be actually out there in a pair of trainers in front of everyone is nail biting stuff! I actually did W2 R1 yesterday in busy rush hour with your posts replaying in my head to keep me moving as well as lovely Jo Whiley urging me onwards. I slowed down a bit as I didn’t want to burst but kept moving! For me, it’s as much overcoming the mental challenge of getting out the door as I’ve never ran in my life (mid forties!). The idea of running for any length of time was more daunting before W1 which is probably why I never even started it before but reading your posts and putting trust in the programme has got me off that sofa so thank you! X🤗

Fantastic to read - this forum has helped and motivated so many of us. Keep it up and trust in the programme!🙂

Thank you and I will! 🙂

Brill! Well done for getting out there-it really is the biggest hurdle to overcome!👍

The best of luck with the program, keep reading and posting and remember:

Stay well hydrated ALL the time,

Make sure you take at least one rest day (more if required)

And find a nice slow manageable pace and stick with it-(you’ll be thankful in the later weeks)

Good luck!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Hi Jane, I have Jo Whiley too. Her voice seems to just relax me🙂
