First rest day and getting out of bed has been a challenge. Shins and hips feeling the pain. However, sticking with the project and persevering with the healthy diet and a gentle walk.

I hear ya, I had to lie in bed with ice packs strapped to me last night 😂
Hi Scarlet! Congrats on having started C25K 👏👏👏, it is a great program and you will enjoy it and feel much better!! 😊 It is normal to have some slight aches at the beginning. Proper stretching after your runs should help keeping them at a minimum. You can find a good guide here: nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h...
There are lots of valuable running advice from our mentors in the Pinned posts.
Enjoy your well deserved rest day and your next run!!!!

Well done! Yes keep moving gently. If you can go and sit in a pool, i really recommend it otherwise some really gentle yoga stretches helped me. Again, well done!
