I am only on week 4 so don't have a lot of experience but I would say that week 1 run 1 was the hardest of all. I haven't ran since school and I think my body was thinking 'what are you doing? What is this?' Haha. Stick with it!

Well done Im only on Week 2 and my first run was awful due to pain in shins, either invest in some decent trainers or just look forward to the next run

Well done! You started and that's a victory in itself.

It gets easier I promise. I just finished w2r2 and am finding my stride and look less like a tomato at the end of it than I did the first week

Well done!! Starting is so tough, but you’ve both done it. You’ll be surprised how fast you progress. I really didn’t think I could run longer than a minute, especially after the first week, my lungs were pumping! But here I am just started week 7. I found the hardest battle was and still is mental. But this forum is amazing for support. Keep up the good work x
