Harder than I thought

[Bookworm20]

Started today, had already read through W1 and thought I would breeze through it but it was so hard, couldn’t even manage the last run, so disappointed in myself, hoping I manage all the runs next time

Well done for starting and posting here. Going from nothing to w1r1 is a big shock to the system. I thought it would be easy and I was surprised at how tough I found it. With the short runs it's tempting to run too hard, so try a slow jog. Keep slowing down until you can run until you're told to slow down and walk.

The advice is that you should be able to chat normally while running. As the plan builds, you'll find yourself remembering to pace yourself so that you complete each run.
