🔥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.

If I can be at week 9 your going to ace it.

Enjoy and a big tip, drink plenty on your rest days.

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.
