You are ready, fear not, slow and steady, and enjoy.

Welcome.

It doesn't get tougher in reality. Your body adapts as the demands increase, so the effort required stays just about the same.

Read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... for lots of basic advice.

Enjoy your journey.

That’s great, very well done. It doesn’t really get tougher, because your body is adapting all time and will be ready for each run as you reach it. Tell your brain to think “the program has me all ready for this!!” 😃
