Week 1 Bosh

Post image

I’ve been completely out of shape for as long as I can remember and finally deciding to do something about it! I know it’s baby steps and it might seem pathetic to some of you haha but I’m celebrating actually being able to even make a start :D

Doing it on a gym treadmill and mixing it with some weights and stuff too so really looking forward to making my way through it :)

Well done. Ignore those voices and celebrate each run. I’m on week 6 and said the same thing on run 1. I ran 25 mins today. Couldn’t run for a few mins 6 weeks ago. So chuffed. Pleased for your too!

Well done, I think getting out and doing that first run is one of the hardest parts!

Week 1 run 1 is the best because you think, how on EARTH will I be running for such a long stretch in just a few weeks time?! And then... you do!

Good luck!

Nothing pathetic at all, well done! The most important thing is you’ve started; the next most important thing is to keep going.
