Ok..... after debating whether to start my challenge in the rain I decided to wait it out and hope the weather improved. I didn’t want to give myself any excuses to drop it all by having a miserable first experience. After my first performance I am under no illusion that this is going to be a 9 wk challenge for me. I manage my 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th 60 sec run with extended walks in between. Not a great start but it’s a start.
Glad I waited until this evening to enjoy these views xx
You’ve made a great start...well done! What a wonderful place to run 😀 just go slowly and don’t try to do too much too quickly. Good luck!
Just fabulous!!! Slow and steady is the mantra and do check out the FAQ for Newbies
Well done you, welcome
PS
Rain..it is just wet
So ... if I read this right ... you ran 4 and walked the remainder! You’ve put a negative spin on it but let me flip that right now!!!
That is great!!! I’ve known people walk all!
I don’t think you realise how well you’ve done! 👏👏👏
Starting this is the hardest bit and you’re here trying!
And with such lovely views to run! You lucky lady... stick with each run until you complete as recommended.. it doesn’t have to b completed easily- every one I did was a challenge to me but I moved forward and so will you!
Well done! Superstar! ⭐️
well done for starting !
a lot of people find the first week difficult , often because they will try and run too fast !
just keep it slow and i'm sure you will then complete all the runs .
and what a great place to run ! 😊
Well done.
make sure that you are jogging at a pace at which you can speak aloud, clear ungasping sentences as you go, as explained in the guide to the plan.
If you cannot, then you are going too fast.
You've done the hardest bit, taking the plunge to start. Good luck 🙂
Brilliant. Well done for getting started. Keep posting on here you'll get great support and advice. We all want you to succeed
It’s true the saying “ the hardest part is starting” once those laces are tied and the music is on. Game on 🙌🏻. Good effort, good luck and keep on keeping on 🏃🤙🏻
