W1 done!

I’m feeling quite proud of myself for making a start this week. R1 felt OK, maybe thanks to the cycling I do now and again, R2 felt better, though had to leave 2 days as was very achey after number 1. Only left 1 day between 2 and 3 as wasn’t so achey, but 3 felt the hardest. I can see it’s important to take it slowly. Will leave a couple of days till the next one! Haven’t run since I was at school (I’m 47!)

Well done SnailGirl!! Keep at it!

I’m a week ahead of you although I’ve actually done 7 runs as I started on another program for a couple of runs before switching to C25K. There’s so much support here and great advice. I’ve just done W2R2 and spent 5 mins or so stretching afterwards. Hopefully I won’t feel so achey as I did earlier this week.

Keep us posted on your progress!😀

Well done! Wk 1 was tough for me as well. I'm 49 and had barely done any exercise for years but I'm now about to embark on Wk 3 and have definitely found things easier in Wk 2 and I actually look forward to getting up and out. Keep going!
