Week 1 Run 1

[WearsTheFoxHat]

Finally got round to doing the C25K programme, I'm used to doing 10K brisk walks 2/3 times a week, but never dared start running due to heart issues in family. But was given all clear by doctors a while back and now that winter is ending thought I had ran out of excuses... Felt brilliant after it, hadn't appreciated the difference on the body compared to the walks though!

What a great start!! Looking forward to watching your progress. This forum will support you all the way too.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

I think I detect a run junkie in the making.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done, like you I was a walker, and have a family history of heart disease and had perhaps used that as an excuse for not running but I stuck to the plan and I got there and so will you!!

I just started too! Week 1, Run 2 - my mum can’t run but I just do the walking with her and try and turn around to fit the programme. Feels great to be out and about with gyms inaccessible. Let’s do this 👏🏻
