Well after my last post I am over the moon with my run this morning. It was a real effort to get out as I was severely doubting myself but the run was the easiest so far! Slowing down - what a difference! Thanks for all the support and I’ve renewed my motivation this morning, a whole 16 mins of running in total and a couple of weeks ago a minute seemed like forever! If you’re struggling like I was just slow it down, it will make a massive difference to your enjoyment. πŸ˜ƒ πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Brilliant done!!! Started week 4 today too. It’s a bit of a leap but managed it. Delighted you felt good at the end of the run.

That's so good - when you realise you can go as slow as you like it all changes! Happy running with your new running motivation firmly attached πŸ₯°

Brilliant, with that attitude it will just keep getting better. Keep listening to and following the advice of mentors. Not very long before you start looking forward to ' just running' while still being amazed by the journey.
