Just completed my first run , am sure I was passed by a couple of lampposts but kept reminding myself that every fit runner that I saw started somewhere 😳

Great job... the hardest steps are those to the start line. Run one isn’t easy as pacing is an unknown... slow running is better for this plan than fast running, you’ll be a better runner because of it... established runners, even the pros, run at the slow end of their range the vast majority of the time. Enjoy the next one.
