Anyone in Nottingham wanting a run buddy?
Hi SueSue2 and welcome to the board. We’re a friendly bunch and we love chatting about all things running. Where are you on your journey at the moment?
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! Recovery days between runs are absolutely essential too.

It might we worth looking for a local run club. They’re often really inclusive and supportive of new runners. I’d just encourage you to be really cautious about meeting up with anyone in real life and think carefully about how much personal information you choose to share with people you only “know” online. There are loads of virtual run buddies available to you here!
