I completed my first run tonight under the cover of darkness. Feet pounding the ground like a hurd of elephants and breathing like Darth Vader doing aerobics I think the poor dog walker I bumped into must have thought Armageddon had come. I didn't realise how unfit I actually am but at least I didn't have a heart attack. I'm now intrigued to see how my next one goes.
First run in over a decade: I completed my first... - Couch to 5K
First run in over a decade



Welcome.
Slow it right down, try to land feet flat, under your body and gently and it should come a little easier.
Great job out there.
Congratulations on your first run!! You have done the hardest one already!
You will do great, just follow the program, go slow and steady, and you will rock it!!

Congratulations! You’ve done the hardest part.
In a few weeks you’ll look back and be amazed at how you have progressed! Enjoy run 2!

Wanted to run for a while after reading the "End of the World Running Club"
Sadly it was Ill health not choice pushed me into it, but i feel like it's doing me good already.
