Enjoying the journey

Hi, my name's Julie and I just wanted to say 'Hello!' I'm just back from my first day of the second week of C25K. (And I really should get in the shower!) I look forward to reading through your posts 🤗

Hey Julie, welcome. Good job so far, you got this

Thanks, I shall be following your progress - you've got 11 years on me, so you should smash it! 👍

In theory... but we have grandma’s smashing it and young guns struggling more... I’m gonna enjoy it and not expecting to set the world on fire just yet.

Welcome! How are you finding it so far?

If you haven’t found the faq post yet (for me it didn’t show up as a ‘pinned’ post when I first joined) it’s worth reading - lots of great tips and advice!

Well done for taking the first step and let us know how you get on!

Better than I thought, not as bad increasing the running time as I expected, but only 90 seconds, so...

And thanks for the tips 😊

I think everyone looks at the increase in running time each week with alarm, but I can honestly say I’ve managed each week - it’s not easy, it is challenging and hard work sometimes, but it’s amazing how much stronger your body gets each week!

Have fun, I never thought I’d enjoy runnng but I do!

Congratulations, Julie! I’m at the same stage you are - we can do this!

[Serendipity1960 in reply to Cs0803]

That's great. I've done every other day so far, hoping to keep it up when I go away, but an ouzo too many might scupper that! 😂

Welcome and well done for getting started. If you follow the advice on here you'll get through the programme - maybe with a few aches and pains along the way, but you will get through it. Happy running!
