Trust the programme, it , and the forum are methodically preparing you.

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

After 27 training runs on the C25k, I am just beginning my running life as a novice too.At approaching 75, believe me it is just a number, we are blessed with a youthful body forever and it is our choice what we do with it.🌟👏👏💫

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!!” 😃
