Completed my first run today. It was much harder than expected. But hoping it will become easier 🤞

Well done. It does get easier... make sure you go at a slow pace... that’s what makes it more achievable. ....

[KT0055 in reply to Currentum4Salutem]

That's a good tip. Thank you.

You’re welcome..... After lots of years of very little physical exercise... I started C25K 11 weeks ago... went at the first set of weeks run as if I was a regular runner.... result.... knee injury.... rested for 3 weeks and then started all over again...

I have learned that it’s not the pace, speed, splits or times. It’s all about personal achievement....

Good luck... keep safe... keep enjoying...

Yeah think I might've gone a little too hard today. But good to know and can gage it for future runs. Thanks again.

It does get easier, because you get fitter, but the runs get longer too.

[KT0055 in reply to nowster]

Yes will see how I get on. Thank you.

[Dups Graduate]

It definitely gets easier! You will enjoy it that much you will waiting for each run to come round. Good luck.

[KT0055 in reply to Dups]

Thats good to know. Well I hope I get to that point. Thanks again.

You will, it’s addictive 😂

You will find many people telling you to slow down and they are right.

Many will also tell you week x,y or z is the hardest.

But you have completed the most important step: got off the couch.

As Dups says (and being a graduate they should know):

it is indeed addictive (in a good way!)

You may find that a lot of us are old codgers over 50 plus, but the advice is still appropriate to younger runners.

Enjoy it.
