Even though I go to the gym 3 times a week I started my first Couch to 5k today, I was shattered next one Wednesday. How have all you others gone on when it was your first one.

Hmm; I can relate to that! It’s a while different type of exercise is it 😊

just the same! Week one was almost more than I could handle but I stuck to it and got through it. And I never thought I could move up to week 2 but I did. And Week 3 would be impossible. But it wasn't. And the step to week 4 was crazily big. But I did it. And week 5 looks the most impossible of all. But I'm going for it!

Some find it easy, some find it hard and it is entirely up to you how difficult you make it for yourself. Of it is tough, slow down.

The guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Enjoy your journey.

I started my first run too. My legs hurt but strangely I was on a high when I came back. Doubt it was a runners high though😀it was probably relief to get back home. I’ve had a rest today did some yoga so hopefully all should be good for tomorrow night. 🏃‍♀️
