Week 1 run 2

I have just completed the 2nd run (slow jog) and I know it’s only early days and although I ache (a lot) I’m already starting to feel better, I have more energy and my mindset is good, I’m looking forward to run 3 and then to tackle week 2. I haven’t run or even jogged since probably school and I’m 39 now, I was dreading starting but I knew I had to do something as I’m overweight and extremely unfit.

I'm with you all the way as I did W1R2 today as well. Only managed it through the encouragement of this site...and of course Michael!

I've just done W1R2 today and arrived home just before the deluge of rain. I found the second run easier, possibly because I knew what to expect, but I think it was more enjoyable as I had music on at the same time. I ached after Wednesday's run so have done some stretches this time which I hope will help. Next run is on Sunday. Go us!!!!!
