Starting Out...

Post by Vickicb »

Hi, I'm Vicki, I quit smoking in February (after being on 20 a day for over 20 years!) and I hit the big 4-0 next year, so I thought it was about time I got myself fit.

Have joined gyms before but always felt really self-concious, and to be honest I prefer being outdoors - at least with running I can take my four legged furry friend with me!

So, completed W1R1 yesterday and it went really well - although I am a little achy today. I am really looking forward to running tomorrow, having decided Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday are my running days. Just wondered how people cope with holidays etc while on the programme - if you just stop for a week doesn't it set you back?

I've never had any trouble jumping right back in after a week's break. In fact, those are some of my best runs because I'm rested and ready to go!
