Feel so grateful to be able to run outside πŸ™πŸ»πŸ¦†πŸ¦‹ With other European countries under full lock down, it feels like such a privilege to be outdoors in the fresh air so I intend to keep taking it under my belt! Week 3 runs start tomorrow, bit nervous and sometimes find it hard to imagine being able to run 5k without stopping but determined as ever...

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

We really need to take advantage of this as there may well be a further clampdown on our activity at some point.

Enjoy your journey.

Hello Annamay44,

You are so right, what a precious thing this is at the moment for those of us that can get out there.

I think so many before you have thought the same as you when setting out, β€˜how on earth will I.....run for 5 mins, 10 mins,, 20 mins...5k....but don’t doubt that you will do it...slow down whenever you need to...and then slow down a bit more if the going gets tough....your great determination will see you through to 5k and more if you want to...

Take care πŸ€—

Absolutely! I feel so lucky to be able to run outside 😬

It is great that we are still allowed out.

Don't doubt yourself, you have worked hard and you will do it!

Enjoy.

You really, truly will get there. I found week 3 as the real start of thinking I could do it. Keep going and believing. It's such a mental sport. You've come this far now and you'll be a third of the way through soon! You have so many positive runs ahead!
