[CLAIRE9277 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks guys. Planning to alternate running days with yoga x

[CLAIRE9277]

Good luck Sammie, I started yesterday and whilst tough for someone that has never even attempted to run, I've been itching to go again today but refrained as rest days are key. I'm sure you'll enjoy it and can't wait to hear how you get on. Cheering you along all the way x

Good luck and enjoy it: I started a week ago, had a run yesterday and barely did anything today and now itching to get out tomorrow!as others say elsewhere on here it might be tough, but keep going - you can do it! I try and focus on nice things about being outdoors despite all the huffing and puffing, even in the cold winter there’s something nice to notice eg some birds or a glimmer of sun (if you’re lucky:))

[Sammie1968 in reply to Sloth7]

Good luck. I started on 27th December and struggled to finish the first day but the support on here is so encouraging. Clearly lots of new people this week. 🍀

Thank you

Hello Sammie 1968 you’ve already gone through the first hurdle down loading the App. I was where you were last September and last week I ran my first 7k last week - slowly it took an hour! But I did it.

Follow whichever coach you choose to the letter, the programme works if you do that.

Always go slower but don’t stop.

Good luck - you can do it👍

[Sammie1968 in reply to Over62]

Wow well done you ..I just really want to do it

[Sammie1968 in reply to Sammie1968]

Just got to purchase my earphones and tonight's the night lol.

[Maisiecat1 Graduate]

Good luck Sammie and enjoy the journey. You will feel sooo much better in yourself when you start.

I got to week 6 back in October but due to severe sciatica had to stop.

I was gutted because I was really enjoying how running made me feel after.

I'm going to start from the beginning again tomorrow so I'm with you.

Keep posting and enjoy! 😁

[Sammie1968 in reply to Maisiecat1]

Good luck

[KRon19]

Good Luck you can definitely do it.

I’m doing my second run today. Feeling a bit stiff after the first one but I’m ready to go.

[Sammie1968 in reply to KRon19]

Well done

[Roxdog Graduate]

Good luck!

[Sammie1968 in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you I've dusted off my trainers lol off go buy my earphones and water bottle .

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Sammie1968]

Music keeps me going! Well done you!

[Sammie1968 in reply to Roxdog]

I will down load my 80s music...eye of the tiger lol

[Jonno34 Graduate]

Good luck, great way to start the year! Only advice is make time and set a schedule and if it seems hard go slower.

[RunningMigster Graduate]

Good luck. Let us know how you get on

[Image26]
