Welcome and well done for starting. Don’t be disheartened that you struggled I think W1R1 is the hardest. My daughter and I felt like giving up after the 1 minute run but stuck at it and now I’m on W7.
Hope your next run is more successful and you come to love running as much as we all do.

Well done on completing your first run!
I was similarly surprised at how hard running for 60 seconds was at the start - it made me realise how unfit I was!
Keep at it - you’ll get stronger and be able to run for longer each week.
Also I found running 8 times was really tough mentally because it feels never ending. I did wk3 run 1 on Saturday and psychologically it's easier as there are only 4 runs (even though they are longer).
Keep going!

Well done... they get easier as the week progresses, they there’s week 2... but you got this
