Just thought I'd register here and say hi as I start running... wow I can tell you even the first run was quite intense, maybe it was that I ran too fast (I think I saw some pro runner along the way and subconsciously emulated their speed ), but I made it back in one piece and looking forward to the next one!
It being 28 degrees C out there (around 85F) didn't help, and I came back bathed in sweat but it feels amazing. Really got a "runner's high" going on!!
I'm hoping to complete the full program and continue running beyond that as I'm aiming to lose 20+ kilos (~45lbs) over the next six months (I'm 5"11' or 180cm and weigh 220lbs or 100kg). Just hoping to feel better and be more confident with less weight
I'll give an update on how things progress.

Hello - Nice to meet you. I am a second time arounder so new to the forum a second time i failed a wk6 Day3 run today......It was hot wasn't it? Bring on winter (for running I say)
Congratulations on completing your first run! I'm also a new runner, my first run was last Wednesday, and while I found it easier than I thought, it was very intense! I was tired all the next day, but ready to go running again the following day! Good luck, and keep posting!
Thanks for the warm welcome Just did wk1 run2 this morning and it went much better than expected. I think it's probably because the temperature wasn't so awfully high today--you're right, Dawn, bring on the cooler temperatures!
I wasn't so much tired the day after wk1 run1, more just serenely calm. It felt great tbh!
I'm really curious whether I notice a large improvement in my condition over such a short period of time (ie couple of weeks). Most reactions I see on this forum are very positive, so I'll keep at it.
“Suddenly, I was part of something. I was part of the running community. The more open I was about my running, the more open others were about theirs. I found out that runners love to talk about running.”
), but I made it back in one piece and looking forward to the next one!
