Day 1 Done!

I can’t believe it but I just finished DAY 1 run! I feel amazing. I am doing this for my anxiety and depression. I have opted to make lifestyle changes as a first step to regain my life back. I also have some baby weight to lose as well. I feel empowered.

Well done for getting started. You've already completed the 2 most difficult things about this programme: 1 - you've got your kit on and left the house, and 2 - you completed week 1 day 1, which many people agree is the toughest of the whole programme. You'll be surprised how quickly you get stronger - physically and mentally. Good luck with your running!

It's a very good way to improve your health - you'll quickly get fitter, you'll lose weight as long as you eat a sensible diet, and your self esteem will go through the roof. Reporting your progress on here will help with all this - support is very important, and it’s plentiful on here.
