🔥DONE MY FIRST RUN🔥

I just did my first run with my mum and it was difficult but we did it!! (On the last 60 second run I was thinking about quitting but I’m glad I didn’t!) If my second run is even a little bit easier I’ll know the plan is working and I’ll be motivated to continue this!!

Well done josh (and mum) and congrats on starting the program.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and is full of tips.

You can't always guarantee that the next run will be easier than the last, in fact I found the second run of each week the toughest. I think because I approached the first one with caution, probably got cocky for the second one and went too fast, but had it taped by the last run.

Enjoy your journey.
