First time poster and just completed week one after downloading it weeks ago. Have to say I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would. Just wondering what week two will be like!

Hi you have done the hard part of starting c25k , I was Completely new to running and never thought I would get past my first run but if you follow it has your coach tells you then you can do it . I am at week 6 run 1 however I haven’t ran for 3 weeks due to knee pain starting again tomorrow. Good luck and look at one run at a time

Welcome to the group - a lot of the advice on the forum talks about running slowly initially to avoid injury. There are also some great links - strengthening long unused muscles and tops on running technique etc

Welcome Manda! Good for you for getting off the couch. 👏👏 You’re on your way, and the fact you enjoyed W1 is great news. You’ll soon be bitten by the runners bug like the rest of us! 😀

You’ll smash W2 - just slightly more running but your body will be ready. Good luck! 😀😀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

By the sounds of it week 2 will be a breeze. We'll done for starting and keep us posted with how you do. Good luck ☺️👍
