Well done on getting through the first week. Before you know it it’ll be week 7 and you’ll be smashing it.

I’ve done the same and as far as possible tried to stick to the same nights each week too just to try and set the habit.

Well done!! Get your feet properly assessed for running shoes - gait analysis - it will make the world of difference! I don't wear a jacket - just get soaked and enjoy the coolness and then my hot shower!! Keep going, definitely well worth it.

Thank you. I will get assessed properly. I am thinking of a hybrid shoe to give me options.
