1st time !

I just finished the 1st run of week one and feel pretty good for it. I am aiming to go again on Wednesday and Friday. I must have looked a sight but puffing and panting down the road. I want to look like some of the other joggers i have seen that look so fit and could probably run miles without breaking a sweat....

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started :) You'll look like one of those other joggers in time, don't worry! Enjoy R2 and 3.

Hi there, I'm a week 1 runner also.

I also look like one of those other joggers but cannot run for toffee, some of them may be in disguise??

I have just started week 2 and it is a little harder but not so bad that it makes you want to stop. good luck !! i have decided i do not care how i look to others when i am running !!

You will! Promise! :-) Just work the program as it is all laid out for you and you will soon be a runner! :-) I still huff and puff, but at least I am moving, running and off the couch! :-) Gayle

i have read some of the other blogs of people that are much further down the line and they are running for 25 mins and some for 45 mins. I am finding it hard to believe i will get there. you are right though, regardless of how you look to others when you are out running. It is important to keep going, !!

Not what you're looking for?
