This challenge really appeals to me because it’s properly structured, you are tutored all the way and there is a defined goal at the end, rather than just taking up running. I’m going to mark 9 weeks on th calendar and remember this day...

Great choice!

Keep running and enjoy running! As you will read on a lot of posts, keep it slow and steady and don’t forget the stretches before and after run

All the best for your journey!

Well done! I completed my 1st run yesterday. It's hard, but I really enjoyed it! Doing week one run 2 tomorrow morning, if my thighs ever stop hurting!

I’m loving it! I’m on W2R2 and although it’s early days I know I’ll complete the journey. I was a total non-runner before thinking I should do more than yoga and dog walk, especially now I’m in my mid-50’s.

I’m a convert! I can’t wait to get out there for my next run, and it’s true - there is a runner’s buzz!

We can all do this!

Well done, I’m ready to start week 9 and would never have thought it possible ! I’m 55 and haven’t ran since I stopped playing football in the mid 90’s! I’m proud of myself for doing it but all my partner says is “You’ll have an heart attack at your age” thanks for the vote of confidence Tracy ! 😂👍
