Well done. Trust me it does it’s a fantastic app. You will be improving every week u will surprise yourself 🏃‍♀️😁

[Chewy73 Graduate in reply to Roydonrunner]

I think I understood it correctly! Is it one day run, one day break, run, break and so on?

[MartinKH Graduate]

Well done Chewy73, great decision to start this and it is a great programme. So worthwhile, and you’ll get plenty of support on here.

Yes you’re right, it’s 3 x runs per week separated by at least one rest day between runs.

It does get easier, and more fun.

Stick with it, just take it slow and steady.

Well done again 👍💪

Thankyou 👍

You've made the most important step. Yes, it gets easier (sort of) - you get better.

[Chewy73 Graduate in reply to SofaJockey]

Sort of??!! Haha

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done.

If it is tough, just slow down...........this is about duration, not speed.

[Chewy73 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I did take it slow (steady) don’t think my knees would last

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Chewy73]

Are you following the advice in the guide to the plan on minimising impact, stretching after every run and strengthening exercises?

[Chewy73 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Where’s that bit? I knew I had to do some stretching but couldn’t find where the advice is, so went on YouTube 😁

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Good for you. You did the hardest bit when you put your trainers on and left the house. 👍

[Chewy73 Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

My trainers have been on/off for the past week or so! But finally managed to do it! Looking forward to my next run!

[Smelliepoo Graduate]

Well done! That is fantastic, you have completed the hardest run of all of them! It does get better and it may also feel horrible at the same time, it is the way it is!

If you are puffing and panting then you are going too fast!

Drink water, stretch as soon as you get home and dot forget rest days! You will be fine!
