starting a new me

[Cello123]

Week 1, run 1 complete. Can’t say I enjoyed it or didn’t, but did like being out in the fresh air. Let’s see how run 2 goes. Pretty nervous about it as it is certainly not my usually thing and have always hated running, but my husband took up jogging during covid and now runs 3-4 times a week and loves it. Who knows it maybe our new way of spending time together. 😘

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on completing your first run. You found something positive too-that’s super. I’ve been running for a year and my husband has just signed up to do an event with me in June. I’m excited although he’s a speedy speedster with double the length of leg compared so me so we’ll see how that goes.

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 are absolutely essential too.

Good luck! I'm new at this too: tomorrow will be week 3 run 2. The people on here are really supportive and are quick to answer any queries. As a complete beginner, I am finding the guide on here really useful, especially advice about slow pace. All the best!
