I nearly gave up, this was so incredibly hard but I am really proud of myself and keep awarding myself gold stars on the back of my phone after I complete a session.

I’ve come on here as I think I’m boring everyone to tears about my mini wins!!!

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on pacing...........if you are finding it tough, just ease back the pace.

Enjoy your journey.

Great for getting to wk4. When you feel it's getting tough slow down . Also that's what is great about the forum you can post and read and we won't be bored😂.

Make sure you are drinking plenty water 7 days 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 😊

Well done LauraD74 , you are doing so well. that is such a good idea rewarding yourself with a star!! If and when its starts to feel a struggle, just slow right down, as slow as you can, slower than slow and you'll be absolutely fine, your stamina is growing with each and every run and that's another run in the bank

Are you gonna have a small reward for 10 ⭐️ (or whichever other parameter of your choice)?

I think I’d have to think of something.

Well done, btw.
