I did my first run yesterday. It’s not ideal to do it at Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest - the runs seemed to be on the hills!!

But I did manage it and am looking forward to run no 2 tomorrow πŸ˜€

Congratulations on completing run 1, of week 1 of C25K, I hope you enjoy your running journey, remember to take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish, drink plenty of water the day before you run and also the same day to prevent dehydration, never run on consecutive days, good luck, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 1, if it's all hills, you could try and find a flatter route.

Whinfell is very hilly. Maybe the road towards the car park past the playground?
