Week 1 Run 1

[Amelia__]

Just completed my first run of week 1! Can’t wait to see progress throughout the following weeks. Feel really proud of myself as I am very unfit but I was able to push through with a lot of will power even when I wanted to stop.

Thank you so much!

Just wanted to say well done on completing your first run! I think just getting over the fear of stepping out of the house or getting on the treadmill for the first time is a massive part of the battle! I hope you enjoy the rest of your first few runs 🙂

Thank you so much. Yes I completely agree, it was quite daunting but i feel some much better for it now😅

Good luck. I’m just on week 2. Your willpower will take a battering but you can do it! I always envisage how good I’ll feel after the 30 minutes of hell 😂

Thank you! Good luck to you too. And yes I’m sure it will😂 but we have got this. Will be worth the struggle after those 30 minutes.
