I have just completed run 1 week 1, so much harder than I thought it was going to be. So unfit

[Miffy2107]

It must get easier

[Couger107 in reply to Miffy2107]

I really do hope so...

It really does! But as you're getting fitter and developing stamina, each week becomes more challenging. The beauty of this programme is that your body is ready for each new challenge but it sometimes takes a while for your mind to catch up! I didn't understand when people said that running is as much a mental challenge as a physical one but it's so true. Have faith in the C25K programme, it really does work and in a few short weeks, you'll be running for longer than you can imagine right now. It's amazing what our bodies can do when we give them the chance!

Let me know how you get on with next run, good luck

[Couger107 in reply to Miffy2107]

Will do, you too. Doing mine on Tuesday.

Welcome and great job. I still have nightmares about that first run, certainly the hardest thing I ever did. Don’t worry... that unfitness is going to go really quickly, you’ll be amazed. The guide IannodaTruffe linked is great and if you follow that you’ll have no worries. Enjoy your journey to being a runner and those 30 minute runs.
