A little about me!

Well done spud. You can you it! Don't go off too fast at the start and you'll be fine. 👍😁

Thank You, I like to run and have started couch25k a couple of times but stopped due to injury. This time I'm determined to graduate 😊

[Satfod in reply to Spud85]

Take it easy at the start. I have damaged knees from my American footy days, so i have a knee brace to give me support. If you have any weak bits support them rather than waiting for the injury. Positive attitude mate, you'll smash this.

Welcome Spud. We all have our motivation in doing the couch to 5K. Stick with the programme and you can do it. Happy running 🏃‍♀️

Thank You, I have started couch25k a couple of times and stopped due to injury. This time I'm definitely going to graduate 😊

It’s a very supportive and motivational forum. You can get advice or just get some reassurance from time to time.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and explains the recommended easy conversational pace, and how to minimise impact which should help avoid injury.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done for choosing to do C25K! Don’t beat yourself up if you have to repeat a week, just make sure you are off the sofa! 👍🏼
