Just started

Hi everyone.

I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years or more and always put it off.

Finally started W1R1 this evening and realised just how out of shape I was. I managed 3 of the 60 second runs before winding down and heading for a bus stop.

I'd feel like a failure, but this is the most I've run since I left school 20 years ago so I'm calling it a win.

Guess I'll have another go in a day or two.

Failures don’t cross the start line. Well done, 20 years of no running and you did three runs. Chalk it up as a practice session. Go slower, as slow as you can next time out. You can do it... it’s not easy, but it’s worth the effort!

You went you ran - def not a fail by any means.

Slower than slow will get you there - if you overtake one of these guys🐌 you are going too fast😊

Well done for getting out there and good luck for your next one x

Well done, getting out there is everything, no failures around here.

Just keep going out and trying your best, you WILL get fitter and you WILL get used to how this feels!

Thanks guys - I knew it was going to be hard. Tomorrow I'll stick to walking, and try again Saturday 😎

Hi, read my post of a few minutes ago.

Got out again at lunchtime today, before work. This time I managed 6 of the 8 minutes of running, so definitely an improvement. Hopefully on Tuesday I can get to the end of the session 😊

Well done, keep up the good work.
