Thank you, it’s been a long road I suffered a traumatic brain injury in March & my motor skills were affected, with the ptsd & injury I have been housebound but now I’m ready to start to rebuild myself & the C25K plan was a perfect place to start 😊😊

Running really is great. You have obviously been through a lot . You have to run really slow and slower again if needed you will be able to tell with how your breathing is. Stay well hydrated 7 days a week not just on run days. Keep posting and reading on here 😊

Congratulations on starting C25K with runs 1 and 2 and welcome to the forum, I hope you will enjoy the next 9 weeks, remember that you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, keep to the program, try and run on the same 3 days of the week, hydrate, drink plenty of water 💦, onwards and upwards to run 3 of week 1. 😊 🏃
