Just thought I’d pop my head up and say hello. I’m on week 7 of couch to 5k and really enjoying. I’m looking forward to seeing if anyone else is having the same niggles that I am and getting done encouragement to keep going 😊😊

Yep. We have all suffered the same niggles. It’s not easy, well done on your success so far. Your within reach of the finish line.

Welcome to the Forum, this place is amazing. I finished the plan last year and it’s been a great journey. I’ve been injured for 3 months and am just getting back into it again. It’s hard getting back but not as hard as doing it the first time. I come back here for the motivation to keep going.

Thanks for the welcome. Hoping that the finish line is also the start line. Want to keep up the 5ks a couple of times a week but know I’ll need motivating 😀. Hope the injury is recovering well.

Hi - I’m new to this too, although like you have made it (just!) to week 7. It’s lovely to have the support of others & I’m so glad I joined this forum. I’m finding week 7 hard going & am due to do run 2 in the morning - so pleased it’s not going to be as hot as yesterday. Best of luck with it. 😉

Bloomin freezing here 😀. Mind you much easier to run when it’s chilly than when it’s hot. I did run 2 this morning so we’re at the same point 😊😊.

Hey! Welcome to a really supportive forum. What niggles have you been having?

An ankle tendon/ligament mainly. Feels a bit twangy! Not really painful and usually it loosens up as I run. Can feel it most walking down stairs.
