Hi, I’ve realised that I cannot keep putting off the diet so I’ve just signed up

Will start with my first run Tomorrow

Running is not something I particularly enjoy but I’m going to give it a go

Does anybody have any tips ? 😧

Well done on committing to tomorrow. I’ll be expecting an update!

My advice is to slow down and slow down again. Also, read posts and write posts regularly.

Have fun!

Great for getting started. Just go slow and slower again if needed and remember to drink lots of water per day and not just on run days about 2-3 litres it really helps.

C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck.

Also remember to stretch after EVERY run 😊

Welcome along ! Take it slow and steady, and always remember the First Rule of C25k: The only run you fail is the run you don’t go for ! Have fun out there x
