Week 2 run 3 done!

[M_a_el1984]

Hi everyone,

I am doing this challenge with my fiancé el. We have a big trip planned next year and want to get fit before we go!

I have been unfit and overweight (20st) most of my adult life. El is much fitter than I am but we have both become coach potatoes since getting together.

After run 3 week 2 we are both positive! Els knee hurts a bit and my shins feel quite achey but recovery time is much quicker!

Slightly anxious about the prospect of a 3 Min run in week 3 but we will give it our all!

Thanks for the helpful posts on this site. I rarely post on forums or Socia media but think it’s a great.platform and reallympostive to help people and keep them focused.

Good luck everyone!

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

Enjoy your journey.

It’s worth remembering that in week 3 you still run for 9 minutes same as week 2 so it’s not as big a step as it may seem. You just miss out a couple of walking breaks.
