1st run- week one

[Gemst0ne_babe]

First run of week one today - had to miss out three runs - not feeling so good about that but will give it another go tomorrow - Sarah Millican’s lovely little voice did cheer me up 😊

Congratulations on starting C25K! It’s an amazing program and you’ll be running non-stop before you know it! Just be sure that you start off each run super slowly (not much quicker than walking pace really) and that should help you get through each run. Good luck 💪🏼

Many thanks for advice

Great job starting- yeah even if you missed a few runs you still did more than you have before! I'd suggest have a rest day before you try again though, it really does make a difference and you dont want to wear yourself out/ injure yourself.

Good old Sarah cheering you on, I use her too

Fantastic effort!

I agree with Parky88, even if you didnt complete it today, you've likely done more than your body is used to. So take a rest day and then go again.

And as Rhedeg2019 says, start off much, much slower. There really is no pressure to run at any pace. Take it easy

Well done for getting going. Keep posting!

Feel proud of yourself! My first attempt at W1R1 I couldn’t believe how many runs there were in it - 8 seemed a LOT. Next time will be better, at least it was in my experience. but please make sure you have a rest day between each run - you will enjoy it more and get much more out of it.

Thank you for advice - will just stretch and walk today instead - this a fantastic forum. Lots of advice and encouragement 😍
