Week one done! Thanks Denise!

Three runs down! Week one complete! Plus I think I actually like running with Denise and music - much better partner than the defeated internal voice that says it doesn’t like running!

Hehe - I am wary I might be in the honeymoon stage with this program. I think my drive/motivation will likely be tested in the week 3 or 4 stage!

Just stay nice and slow so that you can easily speak full ungasping sentences as you run and will be at the most effective pace to develop your stamina and endurance.........faster is not better at this stage.

Music saved me and kept me going. I even started to listen to comedy podcasts towards the end. Your not far a way from "running socks" & "running gait analysis", Just a warning !! haha
