Week 1, day 2 complete. Is it normal for day 2 to feel tougher than day 1 or am I just being a wus?

It varies, you will get used to running, take all your runs slow and steady 🏃.

I nearly gave up after being unable to complete the first session. Just take it malice and steady and pace yourself. I've now just finished week 3 and I haven't once been as done in as I was after that abortive first attempt! Stock with it, you can do it

Think you’re maybe pushing yourself a bit hard. Embrace your inner snail, as they say around here ! It takes time to build up stamina. You can do this ! Happy running 😀

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I’ve got an infection on the back of my thigh so it’s put me out of action but I will be back.
