Went running round my local park today, aiming for my week five first run. Did the first 5 minutes and the 3 minute walk then 2.5 minutes and just couldn’t keep going. My thighs were sore, I was going REALLY slowly and I just thought “I can’t do it.” It’s put me in a proper bad mood as well.
Any tips for getting back on it? Going to try again tomorrow.

I think the 3 x 5 minutes is the hardest session. I am about to start week 8, the 20 minute run was easier for me, seriously. Do it again and remember it gets better. Good luck!
I pulled a calf muscle in week 5 run 1 . I was gutted had to rest for a while then went back to the start of week 4. Don't give up as everyone else said do it at your own pace just keep going good luck.
Hi Zoe, keep going and don't be cross with yourself! You can do it - but as the others say too, make sure you have a good rest day before trying again.
