Edinburgh here! Hallooo! :)

@robinhardysmall: Don't worry. Just tell us about the recipes you're planning to make, and we'll help you find suitable substitutions. :)

I meant to add that instead of apple sauce as a sugar substitute, I use honey or agave nectar. Works just fine, unless the recipe is looking for something textural (as with baking recipes) -- then you'll need actual apple sauce. For everyone craving spaghetti squash -- I miss it a lot -- try "pasta" made from courgettes!…

Hi there. I'm an American expat in the UK and happy to answer any other recipe questions you might have. I have to do a lot of learning the opposite way, as I brought my recipes with me from the States. :)

There is a lot of good advice in this thread already. I'd like to add that there is no shame in repeating earlier (and shorter) runs as you are building confidence as well as stamina. I've done W5D1 four times now, and I will keep repeating it until I build up enough confidence to continue.
