Hi all,
Just downloaded the app and am off for my first run at 7pm tonight! Am a little nervous as I am rather overweight and worry about people laughing at me plodding along!!!
Will let you know how it goes
First run

Re: First run
Hi Carl and all you runners out there!
So I did it first run in over 2 years due to injury and I loved it! It was so hard but felt really good! The outside of my ankles were very sore by the end any ideas how to stop this/what it is????

Re: First run
No idea about the ankles. Just wanted to say hi and welcome. Don't worry about other people - you get over it really quickly. Enjoy the app!

Re: First run
Well done Wardy on run 1 , as for your ankles this could be just down to not running in a long time and will get better as you get used to running again but I would guess you prob need to invest in some decent trainers and good cushioned running socks you'll be amazed at the difference they make ,

Re: First run
Way to go, Wardy! It's so easy to feel self-conscious while you're out there: my husband made a remark one time about a woman out running, smaller than me, something about her rear end jiggling, and since then, I have been super aware of my own... erm... jiggliness, for lack of a better term. 
I just remind myself that at least I'm out making an effort!

Well done on your first run! As far as being self consious about running, I decided just to be happy if no walkers passed me whe I started out
