How slow can you go ?????

Just repeated week one run 1 and I managed all the runs. Thank you all so much for all the advise and tips you gave me.

I have said I can not run and used to get tile off in school for running like a girl 🙄💃.

Slowing right down to a shuffle worked a treat.

Thank you 😊

Fantastic well done you! I’ve just finished week 1 too. It’s my second time round after a year off with three operations. I’ve been putting it off but I’m there with you now!

That's all that matters!

Yes, that is the attitude we all need. Who know where it can take us 😊

How slow? Trust me you can always go slower! As long as

both feet are off the ground,

you’re running. Slow is good,

We love slow!
