Just done first run week one! Loved it. Looking forward but daunted about fitting it in but will try my best.

Best thing is you can do it anytime unlike the gym, good luck!

Well done for getting started and completing the most difficult of the runs!
I know what you mean about fitting it in - I honestly didn't know how I would fit the runs in either. I literally went through my diary and planned in exactly when I was going to do each run. Then I arranged my graduation party. This really motivated me to make sure I followed through with the plan.
What I did find, though, is that I had so much more energy that I was getting up earlier and still had the energy to run when I got home.
All the very best with it!
Well done on getting started, I’ve found that I’m not as tired after work and feeling motivated to keep it up x
Well done

I find it easier to decide which days I’m going to run and irrespective of what’s going on, how tired I am etc, I always go. I think you just need to see it as a commitment and part of your lifestyle going forward.
I’m a Nurse and yesterday was on my feet all day, I hadn’t slept well the night before and really didn’t want to run! Would have preferred to just watch TV with my feet up.
However I dragged myself out, ran 5k and am honestly glad I did.
Good luck and keep us all updated on your progress 😊
