well Ive completed week 1 which is a mini milestone. Set off far too fast this time (must remember I still at the start of this) and have a sore right achillies (now being iced). Really glad to have completed week one, even though I spell of cow cr*p. Having the right music to run to is so important, maybe I'll post my playlists later.
2 days off now. Good luck to all C25Krs out there

Jump to repliesWell done on completing your first week 
I'm not too far in front of you! (Only one run) 
Do be careful with your tendon! My GP told me not to run until I am entirely pain free. Ice is good and massage your calf, thigh muscles too.
Hope you are soon better.
Well done - enjoy your rest days and yes I agree - slow down! I realised I was going too fast and struggling at a later stage but I listened to laura and she is right . This programme works but it's not a race. It's building stamina gradually and the buzz is phenomenal. Good luck!
Do stretch after your runs nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/... It can make all the difference and help avoid injury. Congratulations on finishing Week 1 and good luck with the rest of this wonderful training plan.
Keep going and well done
I can't believe that I am at Week 7 run2 done. Don't go too fast and as Laura keeps reminding us, trust the programme. It really does work. I ran without Laura today on my own playlist and really missed her encouragement at just the right moments. May go back to her on Sunday
Well done on finishing your first week of the plan. You are right to remember to keep it slow and steady - it's very easy though to take off a bit fast, especially if you are feeling a bit enthusiastic. Good luck with the start of week 2 and best wishes.
Great stuff it feels great doesn't it I've just ran my first run of w2 tonight and the two day rest seemed like an eternity
hiii! Congratulations! I finished W1R3 this morning, and hope to start W2 next Sunday. We are on the go!
