WEEK 1 .... DONE.... YAY

Well today I completed the 3rd run of week 1 😊😊

Today was a bit of a tough one.

My own fault really.

I done my 2nd run on Thursday night, then walked home from on Friday lunch time (5 miles). So I’ve not really had a rest day.

I’ve gone from doing a 17.43 pace down to a 15.41.

I know it’s slow, but I’ve never run before so hopefully I’ll grt quick as time goes on. Plus I’m dragging round a fair on chunk of weight. So if I can lose weight and get fitter that’ll help.

But hey ho, on to Week 2 😊😊

Great job on week one. This is about running, it’s not about running fast... don’t worry about that pace unless you can’t talk in full sentences, it’s too fast then, there is no too slow. Enjoy week 2.

Congratulations on completing week 1 👏👏👏

There is no such thing as too slow!! Embrace your inner snail 🐌 and stick to the speed where you could hold a conversation 😊
