First run

[OldToad]

First run complete. I have been putting it off for weeks and weeks, making excuses , looking for reasons not to go, but I finally did it. It was hot and I felt heavy. I am looking forward to it getting easier, but I’m feeling good, really good. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Well done! The first steps are the hardest. For some reason I have found this programme impossible not to follow! It's the structure, the app also, that takes over your music to tell you what to do. It's great and you won't regret! Good luck!

Thank you. So I can play Spotify and the app (Sarah Millican 😆) will interrupt.

[Liliuk in reply to OldToad]

Yep absolutely! It's a thing of beauty!

Well done! The hardest part of this programme is going out of the front door for the first time. Second hardest is run 1. You'll be surprised at how quickly you get stronger. Happy running and good luck!

Thank you, it was hard, I think perhaps more mentally challenging cos I have always felt negative about running.

[telford_mike Graduate in reply to OldToad]

Same here, I thought I was going to have a heart attack during run 1. Keep going - C25K really works!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Well done. That's the biggest hurdle, just getting out there for the first time! 👍

I almost envy you being at the start of the journey. So much good stuff to come. Enjoy! 😁

See how hard that step to get to the start line was? That’s the hardest part. Now that you’re here you can own it. Welcome, and well done.

Well done Sarah! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You’ve overcome the biggest hurdle of getting off the couch and completing your first run! This programme really works, and as you work through it you will get a real sense of achievement. The support on here is amazing, so keep us all updated on your progress. 🏃‍♀️😀👍

[Lavender1962 Graduate]

Way to go! The first step is always the most difficult. It’s a great programme which works. You can do it. 😊

Well done for taking the hardest step, Sarah! It will become easier, and you’ll look back on each week and wonder what all the fuss was about!

In the meantime, have a blast out there. There’s no such thing as too slow (🐌🐌🐌🐌 are our friends) and remember to update us with your progress!

Good luck! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😀

Well done for doing your first run, you are on the journey now, I hope you get as much benefit from the programme as I have and continue to get, when the going gets tough remind yourself of why you started and what you want to achieve, that should be all the motivation you need

Keep going with it, I've done week 3 day 1 today and I am enjoying it I might start with the grumpy face but always finish with a smile 😁
