Great choice to start running. Just go slow and slower again if needed and remember to drink plenty water 7 days a week and not just on run days.
C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here. Good luck ππ

The feeling self conscious bit will soon wear off once you get into it - good luck ππ

Great decision π
I am 2 weeks in & feeling less self conscious with each run π I have been running in the morning in semi darkness so there's less chance of people seeing me, but with normal routine returning this week, there have been more people around - but I have survived π
Good luck with your next run π π
