Completed my 3rd run of week one yesterday, I was really surprised and pleased with how much progress I’ve made since my 1st run , I’ve never run before except at school, so starting now at 52 is a huge challenge, but cracking it so far, 👍🏼

Well done that's brilliant, the getting started really is the most difficult part. Like you I hadn't run since school and I hated doing it even then !

Take it steady and if you have any problems there is always someone on here to help, trust the program and you will get there.

Good luck and enjoy your running

Hiya

Well done for finishing. I also finished week 1 yesterday. Although I somehow found yesterday's run more challenging than the first two. It made me nervous about week 2.

Good luck on your journey!

Oh don’t let it make you feel like that, if your unsure do an extra 1 for week 1, wk 2 isn’t that bad , 90 sec run but 2 min walks in between, did my first one yesterday. 👍🏼

How did you get on since you posted this? I stopped after week 2 due to getting busy(excuses). Started again last month and on week 3 now. A lot more optimistic than last time.

Yay well done!

I just completed week 1 this morning aswell. I'm the same as you, never did any running since school so I'm curious to see how I get on. Best of luck with it all 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
