First Run Done!

[bexcrowe]

Hi everyone!

I have been following this forum and really enjoyed reading all of your stories about couch to 5k. I have just completed my first run of week 1!

I am 20 and have struggled to complete sports due to various health problems and joint pain. However, I am determined to get fit and into exercise in a way that is balanced and gradual like Couch to 5k.

It is nice to have a community in which I am able to log my progress and speak to others who have done the same

I enjoyed my run today and found it the right amount of challenging, and I am going to be doing Run 2 on Monday.

Welcome 👐

Congratulations on starting the program. The forum is a great place. I've found everyone to be very supportive and inclusive

Post regularly ( I do every run as it keeps me honest with myself) we love to hear the highs and lows.

Make sure you read the guide that IT has linked in his post.

Happy running x
