I did it!! Week 1, Run 1

[citytosurf]

Finally after procrastinating for a week or so, I did it, yay!

I was glad I'd joined this forum beforehand though, because a couple of times during the run part I felt it was too much (64 yrs old and not run for 40 years) but I remembered people saying just do it you'll be so proud, so I did, and I am. Slow jog, following Laura's podcast to the letter, had a glass of water and did some stretches and ate a banana on my triumphant return home (anyone would think I'd just run a marathon instead of shuffled 8 measley minutes in the local park!

But they were a triumphant 8 min. Yeah you! It takes courage to start.

Congratulations on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1 and welcome to the forum, yes you should be very proud of yourself, don't worry about "shuffleing around your local park" onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 1 😊👍🏃🏾

Well done. Took me 3 'practices' to get my 1st Week 1 run done. Talking it slow is absolutely the key.

Good Luck to you. The hardest and bravest run is that first one. Stick with it, trust the programme. I’m on week 6 now and can’t believe my progress after too many years of inactivity.

You did great and 8 x 60 second runs isn't as easy as it sounds . But I bet you felt great on completing them. Well done you 😊

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Well done you. You've done the hardest run of the programme. 👏👏👏

We're all running our own little marathon.

[citytosurf in reply to Hidden]

Well done yourself, I'll hopefully do that one in a day or 2
