Hello!

Hi everyone,

My name is Mike and I am a Dad of two young girls.

I want to life a healthier lifestyle both mentally and physically. I live and work in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Tonight was my 1st attempt and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I’m look forward to going running again on Friday! #runmikerun 👟🏃‍♂️

The mantra for all is... slow and steady...please have faith in the programme and confidence in yourself.. If you take it gently.. you are ready for each and every run.

The benefits of this plan... both mental and physical are well documented in all our posts... past and present...

Keep posting for terrific support and encouragement...and most of all enjoy !

Welcome... I’m in Derbyshire too but right up in the north west corner. Great place to come with those goals, this will help mentally and physically a lot. Also, well done for doing this and setting a good example to your two daughters... show them that being fit and healthy takes some effort but is so worthwhile. Keep enjoying it, and you’ll be amazed how quickly you progress.
