Feeling knackered but chuffed. I’m old and overweight but feeling like I’ve actually achieved a bit by getting the first week done .... I’m a notorious ‘giver upper’ 🤪 Now if I can just find some legging that I don’t have to keep hitchin!! Lol

So annoying when they fall down as you run, well done the hardest part is done and it’s a great plan to follow

I find that high waisted leggings are the best - they do them on ASOS, Adidas etc. If you type in high waisted leggings then you will find some - good luck!

Well done on completing week 1.

I bought my leggings from Decathlon. They have a drawstring in the waist which you can tighten so they don’t fall down.

I got the Run Dry+ ones. I think they were about £12.99.

Welcome to the club. There’s a lot of us that started for the same reason. Running doesn’t cure old btw... 🙃
