Is this in addition to the app ??

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Bobisanalien]

It is full of advice that I wish I knew when I started.

Welcome from a fellow couch potato! Have a look on YouTube for the Japanese slow running video and follow the stretches on the link above. I’m doing w1r3 today and I’ve actually found myself enjoying it!!

Best advice I’ve had in here it’s slow down slow down and slow down.

Good luck!

Lovely, thank you

[Bobisanalien in reply to TFG89]

That looks almost daft but actually very sensible, I like it , I’ll try it , thank you !!!

[TFG89 in reply to Bobisanalien]

It’s harder than it looks to be honest but I know if I was pushing myself to “run” i wouldn’t be able to do it to the level the app says (still being able to talk during the run) I’d give up but this is actually enjoyable

The best advice I received when I started was slow and steady, if it gets tough, slow it some more. Being a non runner, this was the best thing I've ever did as I'm now on week 9. Enjoy every run and remember SLOW & STEADY!

You got this💪
