Week 1 Done

[AlistairW]

I think my wife nearly fainted when I announced I was going for a run. The last time that happened was a couple of decades ago at school.

So far I am not finding myself too out of puff as I have a slow pace, but I am using muscles in my legs I have not used for a long time, and the 'burn' was tough.

I have treated myself to a sports watch and love coming in to see my stats - nothing exceptional at all, but that's computer geek I am ....

Looking forward to week two - Alistair

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on minimising impact and stretching after every run, which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

Hi Alistair, well done on getting out there! Glad it’s going ok!

I desperately want a sports watch but until then I’m using MapMyRun on my phone which i like to look at stats on.

Enjoy your running journey!
