Welcome.

First run? I thought I was going to die... then I walked and repeated the near death experience 7 times. Managed to graduate though!

Slow it right down, my problem was trying to be the same runner I was 30 years before, forgetting little details like I wasn’t a teenager any more and that I had virtually 0 fitness. Slow and steady as you become a runner again. Enjoy your journey.
