Just starting week 2 run 1 this evening! Didn't think I would be able to run again after breaking my ankle 4 years ago, but here I am! Any other plus size runners out there doing this? 😊

Hi Marth-Elise, congrats for getting to week 2! I am also a plus sized gal who hasn’t been running for a veeerrry long time but this morning I smashed week 5 run 1, it was definitely challenging but I felt great afterwards! Best of the luck with the rest of it, hope you get as much satisfaction from it that I am :)
