So Iโ€™ve finally started this journey to get fit after 2 babies and a lot of procrastinating.๐Ÿ™ˆ The last time I ran was before my first born arrived 3 and a half years ago, so Iโ€™m feeling like Iโ€™ve just run a 10k and Iโ€™ve only managed 2.5k in total ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great for getting started. You've done the hardest part by getting out the door and completing wk1r1. Just go slow and make sure you're drinking plenty water 7days a week not just on run days. C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hi MumK!

Huge welcome to the forum ๐Ÿ˜Š

Congratulations on your brilliant decision to start C25K. (And on giving birth to 2 lovely children too!)

Youโ€™ll find support and encouragement in spades here.

Iโ€™m at a similar stage to you, having had 2 children, though hadnโ€™t really done any running since the dark days of cross country at school.

Well done on completing the first run ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Welcome and congratulations on taking the hardest step. It canโ€™t be easy to find the time to run with two little ones but you deserve some alone time. Good luck on the journey. Weโ€™re all cheering you on. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
