Week 1 run 1

[CastlingChris]

A hot day but I did it.

I don’t think I could have done any more but I managed to run when I was supposed too.

Feeling exhausted but happy.

The running surprised me at first that I could do it.

I’ll be going again the day after tomorrow- I wonder if it will feel different

Well done you on such a hot day too. I’m on week 2 but remember I struggled with W1R2 for some reason but I’m sure you will be great

[CastlingChris in reply to Petalutha59]

I’m aching a bit now. You’ve made it to week 2 - brilliant. I just felt so determined today. Hopefully w1r2 will be fine

Yippee 🎈Enjoy your rest day. Walk a bit & do some stretches. Now your brain knows you can do it.. enjoy W1:2 You are on your way! 🥳

[CastlingChris in reply to Annieapple]

I need to learn more about stretches. Legs quite stiff now

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to CastlingChris]

Epsom Salts bath excellent for that. Walk tomorrow...simplest way to stop the stiffness

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to CastlingChris]

Google Couch to 5k stretches

Congratulations on starting the program. That's the hardest step - to go out and do it for the first time. Now you know you can do it, there should be less to fear next time.

Appreciated Iain

That happy feeling of completing a run just keeps getting better with each run. Well done you 😊

[CastlingChris in reply to Buddy34]

I want to feel it again and again. Really appreciate your support.

Good job I found even run 2 and 3 easier than the first so hope you do too! Let us know

[CastlingChris in reply to Parky88]

Really hope so.

Brilliant and well done, you've left the starting blocks 👏👏👏. My own personal experience was that the next run was easier which I put down to my anxiety about it had lifted and I was more confident that I might, just, be able to do it again! Enjoy 🚶‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♂️

[CastlingChris in reply to 2Tired2Run]

Thanks. I was surprised I could do it. I do feel more confident

[Dalmorangie Graduate]
