Week 2 first run completed!

Can’t believe I managed it! Cold, windy, dark but I layered up including hat and gloves (thank goodness it was dark!). Breathing ok, shuffled along and felt I could have shuffled for longer, progress!

Looking forward to my next ‘run’. Though knees feel ‘heavy’ is that because I am slightly older than 30? (Must check the dictionary on what slightly means!)

Well run you!! If you look in pinned post, scroll down to IannodaTruffe FAQ. It has links to various question. Hope the knees settle once you’ve had your rest day👍🏻

Thank you, I will just shuffle slowly if not! Maybe by week 5 I may actually run!

Best pace is a smart pace somewhere between a 🐌&🐢 honest, it really does work. So l would say your “shuffle” is about right!!! Happy running
