R1 W 2

[bertiesugar]

Was looking forward to my run tonight. Treated myself to new running trainers. Should have taken it easy but tried to keep the same pace as last week and had pain in my left lower calf - I had done the usual stretches and walking. After 15 mins wlking decided to try again but this time by just doing a tick over jog. Managed to last 20 mins and complete the session. Whilst i bed the new trainers in I will just do this pace and gradually increase the speed - any thoughts tips

Well done bertiesugar...no need for speed during your c25k training. You just need to successfully complete each session. By running slowly at a nice steady jog, you should be able to do this. The plan is designed to gradually increase your stamina and every run builds you up for the next one.

Good luck with W2 R2 after your rest day. Take it nice and steady 😊x

Have you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which will give you many pointers.

Build your stamina first and then after graduation you can build your speed.
