Afternoon all. Just completed my first run this morning. This is my wife’s doing!. She’s almost completed the 9 weeks and loves it. I mountain bike and swim twice a week so thought this would be a doddle....... I will probably be asleep by 8pm !.

Welcome. And well done! This has reminded me of my house. I'm about to start week 6, but have raved about it so much my hubby has just finished week 1! There's a fair bit of negotiation required when there are young children involved too!!! Happy running. 👍👍👍

Ha ha yes . We have a 5 year old so we can’t go out together..... not that we would as she’s about to complete the course and I’d be a sweaty mess after the 1st 5 mins!. I thought I was relatively fit with the biking and swimming . I feel like I’ve been put through a mangle today 🤪

Know that feeling!! My hubby is also a mountain biker and way fitter than me! He’s smashing time and distance; snails over take me while I wheeze up the road!! Hey ho. Good luck this week.

Fitness in one area does not necessarily translate to fitness in another, but well done on getting started.

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

Enjoy your journey.

Sleep tight.
