Well just back from first run ever....even school I managed somehow to get out of pe. I did it but run 4 I just had to brisk walk!! Hopefully next time I’ll do them all! If there is a next time and I don’t die in the next couple of days.

Well done, on my first one i couldn't do the last 2 runs at all but keep at it, it really does work I've just finished week 4 never thought i would be running for 5 minutes without zombies chasing me but I'm loving it. You've done the hardest bit! 😃

Welcome,

Good job getting out there and starting this. The usual mistake in run one is thinking that you have to run fast, slow down if you can. Test your pace by speaking in full sentences, it should feel like you can hold a conversation. Good luck with your next run.

No way could I run fast....in fact I think my brisk walking was faster. But as I’ve read on here.....it was faster than when I sat on the couch 😊

Indeed... I managed to run slower that a 4 year old walking yesterday... a very proud moment.

Your fitness will come along nicely, you’ll notice it pretty soon.

Well done. It’s scary when you start isn’t it? I’ve just finished W2R1 and didn’t think I’d manage 90 secs running but I did. You’ll be the same 👍🏻😊
