Week 1 Day 1 😓

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

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 😊

Hi MumK!

Huge welcome to the forum 😊

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

You’ll find support and encouragement in spades here.

I’m at a similar stage to you, having had 2 children, though hadn’t really done any running since the dark days of cross country at school.

Well done on completing the first run 👏👏👏

Welcome and congratulations on taking the hardest step. It can’t be easy to find the time to run with two little ones but you deserve some alone time. Good luck on the journey. We’re all cheering you on. 👏👏
