Thought i would start a new thread so al those wanting to start or return to running in 2011 had somewhere to post Smile

I have NEVER tried running before so very very nervous about starting, but thought couch to 5k sounded a good method of getting into it.

I am off to bluewater tomorrow to buy running shoes - any recommendations???

Dobby I have been thinking about doing this too. The gym I go to has a running club that I'd love to join. Although they say beginners are welcome I would like to be able to get further than the end of the street first. Wink

Wait for me!! I start next week once we are back into the school routine.

I did this in 2009 ready to do the Race For Life.

It was really great, and I couldn't believe how quickly I progressed from wanting to die beginner to running a fair distance.

I'm going to start this again over the next couple of days.

I'm just marking my place on this thread as i'm really tempted to start running this year. I've not run before either and am worried about looking an idiot but I think i'd enjoy it once I started. Smile
