well done, I think the first one is the hardest one, just the whole "getting out there" thing

onward and upward

I agree never been so nervous as I always said ‘I can’t run’ !

Well done!! 👍💪💪🎉

I did my 3rd week 1 run today! It was tough but I feel great now and can't believe I'm actually looking forward to week 2?! My first run will be Tues evening which will be different as I've only done early mornings so far. Are you using the app? 😁

Yes I am it’s so weird because I tried running in the exact same form and couldn’t do it but having someone like coaching you just gives you motivation !

Congratulations! I did week 1 run 1 yesterday. I was so happy to get to the end without giving up. Looking forward to run 2 - never thought I'd write a sentence that included the words 'looking forward to run...'

Katie, I’m just at the end of W3 and have been genuinely amazed at how I’ve built up over the past few weeks plus when you read al the posts on here of those who’ve gone before us it’s really motivating! Big congrats for starting, you’ll enjoy it! Happy running
