First Run!

[sarmkel]

I've just returned from my first Week 1 run - took it easy and feel fine but legs starting to hurt now! Had check over at doctors yesterday just to make sure all was OK to start 5K training - would encourage all new runners to do the same. Looking forward to next run in a few days time. Any tips?

Well done on completing the first run!

My legs really ached after my first run (particularly my quad muscles), right up until my second run, but weirdly they have been great since (I completed week 1 today).

Good luck for your next run!

Thanks for the good news on the legs front and congrats on completing week 1

Good luck with week 2.

Well done, my legs were the same after run 1, and I felt better with the following two runs. I think I relaxed a bit as I knew what was expected. I will start week 2 tomorrow. Good luck for our next run.
