I’m just about to start the coach to 5k challenge - I am really nervous as I have never been comfortable running!! Any tips for a newbie?

Welcome! Lovely supportive forum here ☺️ Not tips but my only advice is.. if you’re worried about it (I was), nobody cares what you look like, once you’re out there you’ll enjoy it and won’t think twice! Get a good playlist going, makes a huge difference 😁 and finally, keep it steady 👍🏻 Let us know how you get on! That first run will be hard but in a good way! 💪🏻
