Did my first morning run today. Usually do afternoons but it is blastingly hot here at present.
I still find the first several minutes the toughest. But after that it seems to improve as you get into your stride. And the longer it goes on the better it feels.
But the best thing now is that after the run I feel fine. No aches or pains and I'm not out of breath.
Never could gave imagined this a few weeks ago.
This program is awesome - and Laura is a gem.
Go you getting out in the morning, well done
Sunday morning. Nice and quiet. And my part of Sydney is a pretty nice place to be. If I didn't have to go to work to earn a crust, then mornings would be my prefered option.
Lots of us love Laura 
The Toxic Ten ( shorter or longer) is well documented
But well done you... onward and upward
The Toxic Ten. Hahaha. That's great. Will keep that in mind in my future runs.
It can be shorter and a lot longer too... all to do with aerobic and anaerobic,,,and oxygen levels...
I quote...
"The Toxic 10. It sounds pretty drastic, but in fact it is just the process everyone’s body goes through (even elite athletes!) at the start of aerobic exercise. When you start exercising, your muscles need more oxygen, but your body isn’t ready to up the supply right away. So you develop what’s called an oxygen debt, as you use up more than your aerobic systems can supply.
Once oxygen in the blood becomes particularly low, your brain takes action to remedy this, making your breathing more heavy and your heart pump stronger. This is the point at which you sometimes wonder why you hadn’t stayed at home in front of the TV, with a bowl of snacks!
It takes a little while to pay off your oxygen debt and clear any accumulated lactic acid, and so this is why the first 10 minutes can be so hard."
Well done for getting out there Bob - if you're not already, then pretty soon you'll be addicted!
Many people struggle at the start of a run, it's sort of 'normal', but do make sure you do your warm ups. As you progress through the programme I'd be hopeful that the starts will get easier. Good luck!
Big jump in running time!
