As you get fitter it will get easier to run the same distance but you need to keep the effort up to make the longer distances as the weeks progress. But you will recover quicker and you will get a whole lot out of it.

Well.done for starting, keep.letting us know how you're getting on

Congratulations to you Everwood1 on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1, welcome to the forum. Onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 1. Remember that you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, take all the runs slowly, no running on consecutive days. ⛳ Golf is also a healthy outside sport so I hope you will also enjoy your runs. 🏃

Brilliant! Well done you. Your first day as a runner.

Remember you’re doing this for you, so listen to your body and progress at your own pace. Slow and steady is the way to go.

Good luck with your next run. Happy running!
