I did too. Still do sometimes. However I boost myself up thinking I'm achieving more for myself then beforeand no one else can do that for. And I just start moving. Hope you keep up. You've started a great journey.

Oh I remember that feeling well! Just keep thinking that at least you're out there running, and anyone who sees you is either: 1. A runner, in which case they'll see you and sympathise, remembering what it was like at the start or 2. A non- runner, in which case you're *already* doing more than them.

I did first run yesterday, well I didn't run 2 of the run sections but carried on with brisk walk. At least we are out there trying.

My first run yesterday too and couldn’t agree more! I’ve felt proud of myself all day.

Congratulations! I did my first run yesterday too, hope they are all as achievable as that, somehow doubt it!

I was embarrassed when I first started and now four months later I am one of those other runners who I was so in awe of when I started the programme - you can do this
