Start again 😐

Unfortunately had to abandon c25k weeks ago, on week 3, due to knee and leg pain. Nurse practitioner said I had overdone things. So, ready to try again, this time via app and not a running club. Went for 1st run today, couldn't do all the running but I'm taking it much slower this time and building up. Fingers crossed πŸ€žπŸ€‘πŸ˜•πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations on starting C25K, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, start with 30 seconds rather than a 60 seconds run and gradually build your run to a minute, slow and steady is the mantra slogan here on C25K, good luck.

Welcome back.

You would do well to follow the advice in the guide to the plan on minimising impact and the acquisition of good running shoes fitted after a gait analysis done at a specialist running shop will also help avoid impact stresses. healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Purchased running shoes last week following analysis- expensive but hopefully worth it. They were very comfortable yesterday on my first run πŸ˜ŠπŸ€žπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
