Me too (not 22, only 1 lol), how hard was it to get motivation to restart after 22 years ?! How was the run?

Was great. But need to be careful as seems to be aggravating sciatica and bursitis flare up. Might go run tom and see how I go. And maybe get some advice

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

We recommend that if you want to do parkrun while mid plan that you stick to the programmed C25K workout and walk the remainder, just to avoid doing too much too soon.

Enjoy your journey
