Couch to 5k

Done my first run of couch to 5k this morning, I did not realise quite how unfit I am. But I did it, with a struggle. Onwards and upwards it can only get easier, right?

Will definitely get easier, the first is the worst. Drink plenty of water, stretch after and have a rest day. One of the admins will be ali g soon with a useful link :-)

Well done on starting!

I did my first one yesterday, after many months of procrastination. I felt very proud of myself even though I found it a struggle too. It's great to be part of this group with other newbies going through the same thing and I hope it will keep me motivated to keep going. I think the first one must be the hardest but now we know that we can actually do it. Keep going!
