Just keep looking at the posts and sidle up to some other newbies perhaps

There are often groups of buddies who become virtual running friends by just chatting over time

There are plenty of people who started this year, read some of their posts and replies.

Get your first run done and post how it went, how it felt.

There is a huge amount of support on this forum and so many of us were none runners before we started this.

Good luck, and enjoy it🤩

Thanks for the encouraging reply
