Hi everyone, just thought i’d say hello! I’ve just completed week1 run 2. I’m not at all fit and I found runs 1&2 very hard, but in hindsight I think I actually quite enjoyed them! I really want to stick to the programme, I usually give up on things after the novelty wears off!

Great for getting through to wk2 it's not until you've finished a run that you realised that you enjoyed it if you find it a bit hard that's good don't think you'd feel the same if it was easy . I think so anyway 😊

Welcome. Great job on the first two runs... maybe slow a little to make them less hard? Keep pushing yourself out of the door and enjoying yourself... form a habit and let the addiction kick in! Enjoy your journey.

Thank you! My next run is tomorrow, good idea to slow down, let’s see how it goes!

Well done- the first runs are the hardest. Remember that we are all here virtually jogging alongside you. Good luck with your next runs. I don’t know how this c25k programme works but if you stick with it it does! 😊🏎

I’ve just finished my w1 r3 and I took your advice and slowed down, what a difference it made! I really enjoyed my run, I was even able to put a little extra effort into my last run! I’m so happy!! It just shows that if you listen to all the great advice and support on here it can really help you get through! Thank you everybody 😊
