So finally going to try and commit myself to running. I actually dont think I am a natural runner as I have neither the speed or endurance.
Is anyone in Southampton able to recommend a good place to run as I dont fancy the inclines around my house?

Well done you - getting out for the first time really is the hardest part! I’m definitely not a natural runner either but you’ll find the plan will get you through it - trust the plan! I don’t know Southampton well enough to offer suggestions about good places to run (but I know it’s hilly!) - are you anywhere near a park or the Common which you could try? Otherwise, just think how fit you’ll be, running around the streets near home for 9 weeks! Good luck - and don’t forget to let us know how you get on!
Whereabouts in Southampton are you? Common is an obvious one but I haven't been there myself yet to run so not sure of the lay of the land.
The Common is a good place to go. There is an incline, but not a big hill. You could always walk that part to start with and run the rest. Park run is on the common every Sat. 😀
