So managed to complete the first challenge, although considering myself as quite fit still thought my legs would buckle at times but now 30 minimum later I’m feeling super proud of myself . I’m not sure if it’s cheating but completed it on the treadmill at the gym but anyhow still completed

I'm impressed. I did my first run on an evening and celebrated with wine and a cheese board 🤣

Sounds nicer than what i have , was so tempting to buy a apple pie or something hearty. Maybe treat myself to a glass later

Cheating? Who made that rule? A run's a run. Good on you!

However you run doesn't matter, be proud of yourself for making the start, good on you. My only advice is to make the most of the lovely special people on the forum who will help you so much on the way whenever you need them. Good luck 🍀👍

I done my first run tonight and celebrated with pancakes.

The thigh/quad burn is natural. Keep it up
