Hiya, thank you so much I’m really hoping I can stick to this how long have you been doing it??

[Frenc Graduate in reply to Sydney31]

I started just under 2 years ago, and it is literally one of the best things I ever did! The hardest part is getting out of the door for the first time, but I know you can do it. Remember to take it nice and slowly 😊. There is some great advice and people here who will keep you accountable too. Best of luck!

Hi 👋 Not from Northampton but I'm another newbie here...I literally did my first run yesterday!

I say 'run' - it was more of a slow plod, and didn't manage all the runs in the 30mins, no where near but it's most running than I've done in almost 40yrs so it's all good 👍

I still had a good brisk walk, got some exercise and fresh air which is never a bad thing at all.

Good luck with your journey...🤩

Hi Sydney31, veey nearby village started C25K in April, changed my fitness levels better than I might ever have expected. Have done 6 Parkruns at Upton Sixfields, perhaps make it a target, I run Japanese style, very slow (😂) . You dont have to run it all either and Parkwalk is starting in October, well now if you want to join up. Perhaps see you there in the near future!
