Up and ready for my second run of week 1. Stil sore from wednesdays run and strength workout so i´m wondering how this run will treat me
2 Run.: Up and ready for my second run of week... - Couch to 5K
2 Run.
For me it's definitely the second run of the week that's the hardest, I always have a two day rest before third because I need it.
Your body will tell you if you need to slow down - listen to it. Better slow and improving than back on the couch.
What strength program are you doing? Some are good cross training. Others may require you take more rest to repair the targeted muscles.
I'm doing a wee bit of core work - plank and nicked yoga balances/stretches which I find useful. Squats / wall sits and lunges to be added this week as I'm told they will help with c25k.
Good luck and enjoy your next run(s).

I'm just about where you are in couch to 5k (finished my second run). I'm sore as well, but I've seen small improvements in my run. we can do this! Hang in there! your muscles will strengthen quickly.
I was SO SORE after my first run but if you give yourself some really good stretches after each one I have found the pain is almost illuminated. Well done!
Thanks guys! I made it! I Even put in some extra excercises After. My result was about the same as the first run, but a Little improvement in how far i got in the route! Feels great ☺️
Hey, I have just finished run 3 of week 1 and found it slightly easier than run 2.took me a while to warm up on run 2 but today I went for an earlier run thinking I would be too stiff but it was ok. great that there's a few of us all at the same point,I'm sure we will get there in the end!
