Well done for getting to the start line and then completing, that’s the most important bit of any fitness or running plan.

Welcome to the plan and forum

Well done. If you go really slowly you’ll be fine. There’s no hurry 🙂

I found the first run the hardest of all of them. You'll find the next couple of weeks are fun because progress is so quick, after that you'll be permanently amazed because you can run! Well done for beginning 😀

You’ll love the programme. Good luck and enjoy it 😁

I hope you are comfortable with the emotion of being proud (I'm not particularly, and rarely have occasion!)--because you are about to be really really proud of yourself. Astounded by what you are capable of.

If you have any doubts or fears or concerns, read around. You will feel empowered by the collective energy of people just as humbled as you are now...who go on to be stunned by what we have accomplished. It's really incredible.

Good luck!

It's tough because your mind doesn't really believe you can do it yet. But you can do it.

Just take it slow and steady, then enjoy...
