Hello. I used to run a lot when i was younger taking part in many cross country comps.... 10 years later and im a mewbie again.

Comeleted my first week last wednesday.... felt very proud although needed to invest in some new trainers... blisters galore....

Completed 1st run on wk 2 last night with my new trainers which feels like pikkows on my feet and i was amazed that i could actually do it...

The more i do it the more i feel my legs carrying me better.

I get horrendous pain just under by ribs though.... im perservering :)

Well done for getting going, that is great news, I am wondering if you are holding your breath for a little while when you run, we can do that a bit when we feel under pressure, try making sure you have a nice flow of in and out with no holds and it might help. Rfc x
