I was very similar to you, putting it off or finding excuses not to, then I just went and did my first run, nice feeling afterwards, now I have just completed my week 2 first run, my first 2 runs in week 1 were really hard, but week 2 is a gentle push forward. Keep it up!

Thanks, I know I’m going to find this hard but I’m looking forward to next run (never thought that be something I’d say)

It gets easier the further you ge, enjoy your journey

Well done. The first couple of weeks I really struggled but I have just done run 2’of week 6. I promise you it does get easier. I think back to when I couldn’t even breathe trying to run for a minute and a half and last week I ran for 20 mins. I would never have thought it possible.

Go slow, stick at it and you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

Not what you're looking for?
