Welcome... it’s great that you survived the first run! Well done, that’s the biggest step. I had a different running app installed for a year before I ran... that didn’t work too well, and after a couple of months I was pointed to this plan. Procrastinating about it I see as a positive, when we decide to do it after thinking a while we are ready! Enjoy your journey... you can do this.

Well done! My advice is drink lots and lots of water. I can’t believe how much I’ve drank and eaten today after my first run. Exciting well done =]

Started this after my mum told me to do it. She did this and is now running lots of 5k and 10k runs. Looking forward to getting fit like her and maybe running together with her.

Well done! You should be really proud of yourself for starting this program; remember to run slow, that’s the best advice I ever got- and it works 😊 Enjoy your journey!
