Do I really think I can do this...??

[Karene28]

Ok.. so here I am sitting in the sun deciding on whether I think I can actually do this... I’ve cleared the running machine ready as definitely not ready for any human to see me attempt day 1 .. me running is prob the last thing people out for their daily fresh air will want too see and will terrify most to the bone.. actually I may help with social isolating as people will be terrified of the image of me burning into their retinas.. right... shall go in search of gym gear.. pretty sure I bought some last year when I joined the gym ( and it’s still in it packaging... ) ....

You can definitely do this. Take one run at a time and don’t dwell on what anyone else might think. Keep us updated on your progress 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Yes you can Karene28! Just take it slowly and follow the programme. Make sure you do the recommended stretches and rest days 😁 Good luck!!

[Karene28]

Well thankyou for believing in me guys!! I did it!! After the third run I didn’t think I’d manage to complete all the runs but I did...!! And I kept on going until I’d burnt off 200 calories!!!

Currently lying on my running machine.. no plans to get up anytime soon !! 🤣..

I didn’t do any stretches Northlondongirl ... beginners error!!! I’ll make sure I do them before and after next run...

The post run stretches are the important ones to stop aches and pains. Not too late to do then now 😉 before the run doing the warm up walk should be just fine!
