I was dreading running for 3 minutes continuously but I did it. Every run is a challenge to me and I’m finding that I’m doing ok. Not great but ok. Thank you everyone for writing your stories, it seems to be spurring me on with my running journey.

Not great but doing it! Concentrate on the ‘doing it’ not the other bit - you can feel proud that you’re off the couch, think about where you were before you started! Enjoy the rest of week 3!

Yes, I'm out there running instead of watching the tv. I feel great after every run. I'll enjoy the rest of the week :)

Every run is a challenge, but you’re out there doing it. Well done and take each run as it comes and try to enjoy it - or at least enjoy the high once the run is over for the day and you tick another one off!

Well done 👍
