Congratulations and welcome! My first run was like yours, then an angel directed me to a video on YouTube about Japanese slow jogging, and the next run couldn’t have been easier. Do give it a watch! Good luck! 😀

Thank you, I will! My technique definitely needs some finessing 🤣!

My dear, I graduated last week, and I still look like a hippo when I run! 🤣🤣🤣

[DrBunny in reply to MuddledGardener]

Lol, I can relate to that! Thanks so much for recommending Japanese slow jogging, it’s a game-changer!

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to DrBunny]

So glad it’s helping you! 😃

Hi DrBunny! Well done for doing that first run, it really is the hardest one of the programme. Each one will challenge you but you will be able to do it! Definitely check out the slow running technique - total game changer... Keep hydrated and go slow. Believe in yourself, there's a runner in there!
