I have just completed my first run. I knew I was unfit but didn't realise how unfit!!! Feel great now for doing it and it's made me realise just how much I need to do it.

Well done it’s the feeling of finishing each run that makes you complete this, rest tomorrow you could have a few aches

Well done Timetochange2019. What a fabulous way to start your week. I am only at the beginning of week 2 and can feel a difference already.

Here's to a great 2019 for you 🙂

My very first run was also the most difficult. I think my brain and body both got a shock after so many years of not running. I also discovered the next time I ran that I had gone too fast. Just do it gently and don't extend energy bouncing up and down. It's supposed to be a 'light' jog, not a race! You'll be fine.
