Get Running Forums

Sorry to read you are not happy. I've been told that the first few minutes of each run are the hardest which kindof explains why doing lots of short runs seems tough.

Sorry to read you are not well. :cry: I can understand your worry about missing the runs. I am scared to miss them incase I go off track permanently.
