First Run

[Tenerife2018]

Have decided must lose weight and have done jogging in the past which I did lose weight. My wife has me on a high protein low carb meal plan and we are trying to avoid processed food, see if that works?

Purchased arm band for phone so I could listen to instructions and went for W1R1 on 27/8 which was fine even though have done very little exercise for about six years.

Looking forward to next session tonight

Good on you - you will enjoy the feel good feelings you get from exercising. Lucky to have your wife’s support too!

[Tenerife2018 Graduate in reply to GrannyAnny55]

Thanks, yes she is losing weight as well.

She is considering doing the couch to 5k.

Don't give her the chance to contemplate not doing it. Drag her out with you! You can spur each other on.

I will try my best

You should! When you become addicted to running - and there's a ridiculously high chance that you will - it's nice to have someone to talk to about it! My family all tease me as soon as I mention the word 'run' (think Inbetweeners episode 'friend' ' ooh friend')
