Just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement as I did my first run this morning under the shadow of dawn! Wasn't easy as I'm definitely overweight, but that's why I'm doing this, right? I've worked out my route and run days so I'm focused. Here's to a fitter future ๐

weโll done. Thatโs brilliant. The program works. And this is from someone whoโs never run and can now run for 25mins 7 weeks into the program. Keep it up with the great start ๐ฅณ

Stick with it ๐คฉ

Well done...we all start somewhere...just go slowly and finish strong
Good for you! Im the same, just started week 3. When I run, my bum seems to run in different pace and direction to the rest of me! So definitely need to loose a lit of weight! We can do it!
This is where supportive leggings are your friend! I ran in some regular leggings when washing day hadnโt happened and all my gym ones were dirty. The difference was massive-jiggles all over the place! Not a mistake Iโll make again.
I ran in shorts for the first time last year on holiday, and didnโt dare look down - thighs swinging from side to side like pendulums! At least they had a tan, so thatโs one thing I guess ๐คฃ.
Gonna get a pair of those leggings, definitely!sometimes I feel like my arse is gonna overtake me and run past! ๐คฃ
