Youâre fine! Thatâs the point of the slow jogging - itâs low impact so designed not to hurt. More proper athletes are showing that slow does build really good basic strength, and helps with pace for those that want to work on that. But with the slow jogging you shouldnât feel pain at the durations youâre running. Yesterday I did a 50 minute run, I felt it a bit afterwards but only mildly, like after good exercise. Youâre doing it right!

Youâre not cheating at all!!
I found my legs can take me forever, itâs my lungs and fitness that need the training. Everyone is different, my husband gets really achy muscles but doesnât have any breathing issues
