I've just finished my first week. Didn't find it easy but I am so pleased that I managed it. Running into wind is not easy😳. Slightly nervous about week 2!

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

Welcome yeti5!! It seems so far and almost impossible to imagine getting to week nine and running for 30 minutes doesn't it? But from one who just graduated a few days ago let me tell you the program flies by and you will feel so great overcoming each challenge! It's been a life changer for me and I'm certain it will be for you too!

Congratulations CrimsonMama! What a fantastic achievement.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am excited at the prospect of perhaps one day being a proper runner like you. 🏃‍♀️

Nine weeks is near to Easter so that's not long at all is it! It can be your Easter challenge lol.
