1:3 so here I am back to the start after reaching week 6 but had to stop …a year off with chronic shin splints. This time I’ve hopefully done my homework will listen to my body better and run at my own pace.

Fingers crossed this time 😊

👏 Well done for giving it another go!! I am sure you have read all the advice given here about running slowly and doing dynamic warm ups and post run stretches etc.. Keep posting your progress & we will encourage you all the way this time!!

Wishing you lots of luck! There’s loads of support here if you keep posting.

There’s a brilliant little guide to the programme here with lots of helpful hints and tips.  Well worth a read.  Most important is keeping it slow and steady at a pace where you can talk in full sentences without gasping.  Most of us go too fast!
