Oh... My... God... Haha well I'm proud I managed it but my legs are like Jelly and I have never been in more need of a shower... Thanks for the support.. They say the first is always the hardest!!!

[secan Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well done! Yes, the first is definitely the hardest so from now on it will be all downhill... sort of... well, ok, maybe I'm being a bit over-optimistic but optimism has never hurt anybody, has it?

If you can, I'd suggest you try running early in the morning or in the late afternoon/early evening as it would help to cope with the warm weather.

[poppypug Graduate]

You did it !!! Fab, don't forget your cool down stretches will you ? You don't want to be walking like John Wayne tomorrow

Well done Chris, you've done the first one now , youre on your way xxx

[Holly303 in reply to poppypug]

Hi, I'm starting with my first run on Monday - do you have any tips or links to cool down stretches please?

[poppypug Graduate]

Hi Holly

Yes, theres some on the C25k home page, I will post the link in a second when I find it .

These are so important to do as they really help in minimising any aches or stiffness .

perfect, thanks very much for your encouraging reply

[davelinks Graduate]

Well done Chris, mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun! well yes! I do, about the best time for me, so yes drip sweat more so now with the warmer weather, so remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day, stay well hydrated, and wear a good sun cap for protection, and sun protection on the face in general. Take the runs slow & steady..😊

[Hidden]
