Congratulations to everyone having done the first run. I

was inspired by you and I just did mine too! I’m sure they’ll be ups and downs over the whole 9 weeks, but right now I feel that maybe I really can do this!

Welcome to the forum and well done on

getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Enjoy your journey.

Congratulations on your first run, I did mine yesterday, I’ve no doubt we’re all capable of doing this especially with the amazing support of this group. 💪👊 slow and steady seems to be the way 😊

Congratulations to you on completing your first run.

Just go slow and slower again if needed and remember to drink lots of water 7 days a week and 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 😊😊

What Buddy says, keep posting, keep reading and you'll help enforce a new 3xweekly run time ... and you know what? Even though you've never met us, you wont want to let us down and you'll get out on that next run even though the gremlins might be sitting on your shoulder telling you how comfy that couch looks - but it's a darn sight more comfy after your run!! haha

Well done for starting :-)
