Welcome. I looked at running again for a year before I took that step, it’s hard. Let’s see that 50something obese ass on the start line and smashing this. Go slow and if struggling, slow down. You can do this.

Good luck! You’ve got this. Follow the programme, accept that there will be ups and downs and don’t beat yourself up when your body doesn’t do what you want it to as quick as you want it to! You will get there!

Welcome! Brilliant that you’re getting started and you won’t regret it! Tons of helpful folk on here to help, and the programme is very clever. Trust in it, stay slooooow and steady, hydrate lots and remember the all important rest days. 😀

You’ll see huge results and you’ll smash it! 💪🏻

Good luck! 🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♂️

Hey there MLJ1966! Lil here (Lil1963 if you catch my drift) and me & *my* clinically obese backside are here to tell you that not only can you do it, but that you will love it!

I'm on Week 5 and absolutely confident that I can do this, and so can you. Trust the programme, go slowly and enjoy!

Not what you're looking for?
