First run complete!

[Hbb1502]

Hello! Newbie here. Just wanted to share my pride 😀. I’ve been gearing myself up for this for a couple of weeks. I hate exercise and I have never run. It’s pouring with rain and I could have easily made excuses but I went down to the beach tonight and completed the first run. I’m absolutely buzzing! Unfortunately I have some cheap Bluetooth headphones and although they play my music fine, they did not like the app and I struggled to hear her. Think I need to invest in some decent ones. Otherwise, although it wasn’t easy it went really well. I’m ready for the next one!

Well done - can’t believe this was me only 6 weeks ago and now I can run for 20 mins in a row. It’s a life changing program.

Well done ! I just completed week 9 but still feel a newbie. You can do it. Def hey headphones ..their voice is key when it hurts ! Really urges you on to the next bit.

Well done 👏 🎉 I did mine this morning... After putting it off for over 18 months! Will be interested to see how we both get on ☺

Fantastic - good for you! We are all newbies to this - at least just a few weeks on. Isn't it a remarkable feeling. Not just physically!

[smeeagain Graduate]

Great for you...good luck

[AnneT140757]

Wow that’s brilliant. It’s said that it’s harder to run on beaches but if I had one nearby I would be out there too. I’m only on W3/2 but it’s getting a little easier already

I didn’t run on the sand....I’d have no hope! Just along the promenade which is actually nice and flat (although very wet last night!). Looking forward to hopefully doing more down there in the summer!

[JoP61 Graduate]

Well done! Sounds like you know how to beat those gremlins that try to persuade us not to run occasionally! Good luck with the runs. 👍👍😀

[Hbb1502 Graduate]

Thanks everybody! Feeling very achy today 😅

[AnneT140757]

I am having same problem with earphones as mine were cheap too. Can anyone recommend some good affordable Bluetooth headphones or earbuds
