Well done! The first one is the toughest - you’ve got this now. By the end of week 2 you’ll be addicted 😂

ooh I hope you have by now! Well done the first run is always the hardest, good luck and happy running next time out

You'll be fine. Slow down a chunk, read the pinned FAQ post for new starters and then slow down even more 😂

Hardest one is done now though.

Welcome.. and slow down :)

Take it slow and steady.. you should be able to breathe easily...don't start too quickly and just enjoy the runs:)

Yep that was most of us at the start too (well me definitely) so don’t worry. I was stiff as a board and aching all over the day after too (sorry). But...it gets better. In a few weeks you’ll be running for longer than you ever thought possible. Slow and steady and stick to the plan. It works! Good luck!
