Getting started

[MrsVenkman]

Well I have decided it's time to get fit and healthier. I have 2 young kids and want to be able to keep up with them😂 and running will definitely be a new challenge! Nervous and excited at the moment.....

Let us know how you got on and well done for starting. I started yesterday. It was tough and I never realised how long 60 seconds lasted when you are longing it to be over but I went slowly and stuck with it and was pleased I did. You will be fine I am sure - deciding to do Couch2 K is half the battle. Good luck x

Thank you for all the support! After some procrastination and technical issues (I worked out I had to change my settings so the app would keep running in the background😂) I did my first run. Yes it defs was a long 60secs😊 I even met another runner and we had a lovely chat in the park! Feeling less nervous now.... Thanks!! 😊
