1st run - didnt quite make it.

So tried this in the park and did most of it but not all . Not too bothered though - just amazed I can still run at all. Maybe I'll go a bit slower next time.

😜Got a great incentive- I've just got a beautiful horse that I want to show inhand and that involves running round a field with them.Want to do her justice - not conk out wheezing half way round..

That's a great incentive - lucky you! 🐎

Think of it as a practise run - there really is no such thing as too slow. Good luck!

Thanks - no way I'd be even thinking about it without a big incentive 🤣

It might surprise you! I started purely to support my husband, not expecting to enjoy it - but quickly became hooked. It's nothing like I remember running at school! 😀

Definitely go slow. Good luck and I hope your horse appreciates all the hard work you’re putting in 😂

Well done for starting, that's the hardest part. Definitely keep it slow, think snail like I do 😂

I love horses, a really good incentive to get fitter. Good luck on your next run x
