Get Running Forums

Just did the first session! The first run was the worst - anyone else find that? I haven't run or even exercised much for far too long. Realised I was getting very grumpy and stressed (I'm a local government worker...) so really need some endorphins! Going to take it slowly though, planning on sticking to week one for a while - my knees are a bit unreliable.. And I'm "running" very slightly faster than walking but it's enough to make me out of breath so it will do!

Fantastic! Go ahead and use week one until you're comfortable about doing more, it's definitely best to follow your body, it knows what it's up to.

I think most people find the first run is the worst. I'm not quite sure why Try doing a few 20-30 second jogs in your warm up. That helps for me.

Happy running,
