Starting out

[georges6464]

Week 1 run 1 complete, long way to go 😂

[Fit4evr]

Me too! Felt really good.

[georges6464 in reply to Fit4evr]

Not sure if it felt good, the old knees took a pounding 😂 it is good to get going. Who is your coach? I went for Sarah. 😁

I had Sarah but then heard about a glitch with her so chose Michael. The glitch has been sorted now.

[georges6464 in reply to ButtercupKid]

Cheers for the support, a long way to go 😂

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to georges6464]

You’ll do it ! Keep us posted 😀

[georges6464 in reply to ButtercupKid]

Will do 👍

[backintime Graduate]

Keep going, sometimes that first run is the biggest step, putting your trainers on and lacing them up for the first time can be daunting.

Well done for starting

[georges6464 in reply to backintime]

Cheers 😁 feeling a little bit sore knee wise but will keep at it. 😁

[JaoJao]

The hardest part is done! Well done ❤️

[georges6464 in reply to JaoJao]

Cheers, you too. Tough not to have a celebratory pint though 😂

[Serenity0365 Graduate]

One of the best things I did was to avoid looking at the details of the next run until minutes before the run. That way I was nice and ignorant to what was next and enjoyed the whole process so much more.

[georges6464 in reply to Serenity0365]

That is good advice, I will do that. Thanks for the support 😁👍

[SpeedMaQueen Graduate]

But before you know it, you’ll be graduating! Stick with it and you’ll be amazed at what you can do! Happy running 🙂

[georges6464 in reply to SpeedMaQueen]

Like the alias, and thanks for the message of support. May even cross the marathon off my bucket list yet, 😂😁

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Well done on starting that’s the hardest one done

[georges6464 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Tell me about it, been putting it off for weeks 😂

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate]

Well done! Like Sola says - that first one is definitely the hardest! Keep plodding along, don't try to go too fast and drink plenty of water every day. Before you know it you'll be a runner!

[georges6464 in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Thanks for the encouragement. It was tough and the knees are a bit sore today. I remember when I could run all day. Where did youth go 😂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Step by step georges and you’ll get there! Welcome to C25K and this forum!

[georges6464 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

At first I thought c25k meant running 25k. Had to lie down 😂

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to georges6464]

😂

[Eatrun Graduate]

Slow and steady. Even Christmas is around the corner nevermind 8 weeks. ...and then graduation!! 😉

[georges6464 in reply to Eatrun]

Only 179 days until Christmas. I bet you are not ready 😂
