I have never ran before in my entire life. I downloaded the app a few months ago and I had full intentions to start it but I could never be bothered! However this week I started it! I have completed W1 R2 and I feel great for it! Can’t wait to finish my first week and smash week 2!

Well done! Starting is the worst but but that high you get when you run for the full 60 seconds then 90 seconds is amazing 😁. Good luck!

Excellent. 👏🏼🎉 Getting out the door that first time is the hardest bit of the plan, and you’ve cracked it. 👍😄
