Instead of waiting until January 1st I thought I’d just get going- absolutely loved it! Came back home feeling very proud of myself

Fantastic news! Tomorrow is the day I did exactly the same as you and started last year. Couldn’t wait until January 1st either!!

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!

We love to chat about all things running here so keep sharing how you’re getting on and asking any questions that come up. Good luck! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

You should feel proud, Toots. That’s a fantastic achievement and a big first step at any time - but especially at this time of the year. Huge congratulations. We’ll be here cheering you on throughout the rest of the runs.

Hello and welcome! That lovely feeling just gets better and better with each run and is the best motivation. And joining the forum was another excellent decision as we will keep you running as long as you keep posting 🏃🙂
