W2R1.....please tell me it gets easier.

I know everybody says it but it’s so hard to believe when I can barely get through 90 seconds of running 😂 but still I dragged myself out of bed and did it in the rain.

My calf muscles seem to really struggle when I’m jogging. Any tips on how to warm these up before hand?

Also is it normal to walk faster than you run? I can just about pick my feet up off the floor when I’m jogging 😅 on the plus side a lovely lady stopped me and gave me words of wisdom on my way out. It’s so weird how suddenly I’m this person who runs and people acknowledge that!

You’re doing great! I wouldn’t say it gets easier but you go further for the same effort 🤣 Keep at it. I’ve seen plenty of people on here mention they can walk faster. Forget pace as that comes in time 💪🏽
