Started this again today (have completed it a few times over the years!). Anyone else beginning it so we can cheer each other on?

well done to those of you who are enjoying this. I’m really struggling. Just done week 3 run 1 and think I need resuscitation. I’m gasping and puffing, red in the face, sweating and straining. I know that I’m unfit but was hoping that this might be a way back to doing a bit of activity.
Does it get easier or shall I try something different?

I’ll join - running my first 3km in a long time tonight and to say I’m nervous is an understatement!
