A little later than planned - but I did it!!!

Chose Jo as my speaky person - perfect.

Might need to look at compression bras 😅 but apart from that feeling warm but GREAT!!

Thanks so much for your encouragement - defo a big help getting me out the door. And you know what? I didn’t think about what I looked like....too busy focusing on breathing and not falling over 😂😂

Well done, just stick with it. The biggest tip I took from this group was to run really slow. This defo helps get your breathing under control x

Amazing I keep it up 👍🏼 I’m on week 8 and didn’t think I’d ever get there. You will soon be there.

Ps- I got my sports bra’s from decathlon (£10ish)

Well done!!! You’ve started on such a warm weather week as well 🥵 I ‘d say a decent bra is 2nd most important item after decent trainers, so definitely get that sorted, otherwise I found it’s a distraction you don’t need 🙈 Remember keep reading the posts on here ....just keep it slow and trust the plan. IT WORKS. 🏃‍♀️ 😃 x x
