Well, week 1 run 1 didn’t do every single run but got further then I thought I might. It’s going to be hard but out at 06.30 this morning in the beautiful sun helped. This forum helped me loads and the worst bit was getting out the door!! I can do this 😉

I started last Sunday, I couldn't do all the runs either and felt pretty hopeless. Then I read lots of posts and advice on here and everyone said the same thing- go slowly! To my amazement-and delight-I managed all of the runs on Week 1, Run 2 and Run 3! Slowly is the key, it's still faster than what I was doing before after all (which was nothing!!). Well done on getting started, that's definitely the hardest part.
