Just started and completed my first run today. Very keen to progress but now at the end of the day extremely tired!

I remember sitting here posting about our early runs looking up and seeing Willow asleep on the sofa so it’s not unusual to feel tired after a run

Well done for getting started and that first run is the hardest, keep posting your progress and this is the best place for advice and encouragement

Huge well done you... slow and steady is the mantra; and do pop across to the Strength and Flex forum for some ideas to help with some rest day exercise to improve your strength and your stamina:)

Well done, Edwardkerrison. You are right on track...you have started. After the day or two rest your body will be ready again and each time it will recover quicker. So excited for you. Do keep posting and reading / responding to those on the programme with you. You have joined a fab group and you are not running on your own. :-)
