Just take it slow and steady and you'll be surprised at what you can achieve. Congratulations on getting started! Great start to the new year!!

Good for you ! Take it slow and steady - this isn’t meant to be a punishment 😄 It’s a gradual progression and you can do it; relax and enjoy your journey x

I can’t stress enough how important the dynamic warm up (the brisk walk) and especially the cool down stretches are for avoiding pain and injury. Take your time too, don’t rush them.

In addition to what BrianUK says, a very hot shower after helped me and also moving as much as possible when you feel things tighten up. I also went for a short walk later on in the day and that worked for me.

Hope run 2 goes well
