Hi! I completed my first run yesterday after not running for 15years lol it was hard work but perserve! Even if you feel like you can't do anything more then a slow jog, at least your moving! 🙂 Good luck on your journey.

Did my first on Monday after 3 years of no exercise. Had to take a break after 2 runs! Best advice is to take things super slowly and build up as you get going, and make sure you've got decent shoes on.
