Starting out!

Hello just starting out. Completed first week but both hips have started hurting now and I should be starting week 2 today. Not sure if I should give it a miss and let hips settle down or just carry on? Thankyou

Drinking protein after makes a huge huge difference for me. I rarely ache at all. Xxxx

I work at Holland and Barratt so I buy a protein powder from there. You mix it with milk. Xxxx

You can expect to feel it if you are new to running and/or exercise in general

These early sessions are slow - jogs but mainly walking - so should be do-able 🙂

See how it goes. It’s lovely out there today so a good day for it. Let us know how it goes 🙂

If you’d rather have an extra day between runs then that’s perfectly fine 👍👍👍👍😃

Ah ha! Good 👍

Great stuff. Keep going oh so slowly and carefully. There is no rush for thus. The only imperative is to complete each session. Going steady will get you there 🏃‍♀️🙂

I know. It takes practice to run slow to fast music. Fun to do though

I was running slowly to Paranoid the other day 😁
