First Run!

Wow....well, that wasn't so bad! Very awesome to have started but also hoping the enthusiasm lasts! I'm a 46 year old Mum to 2 delightful teens and work for the wonderful NHS. I'm aiming to concentrate on 'me' for a change by getting fit and dropping a few stone!

I was wondering whether my enthusiasm would last but I think the amazement at what you're able to achieve on each run will keep you going along the way! 😄

Welcome. You need some you time, it’s great for the mind, as is running, so what better way to spend it! Great job completing that difficult first run.

Well done getting started. The programme doesn’t give you chance to get bored, it mixes things up & makes you want to keep going ... and I’m the most reluctant runner ever! Good luck with it. 👍🏻
