I’ve had the app on my phone for at least 3years! 62 years old fairly fit and active. I’ve never been a runner but always wanted to be. This is kick I needed ! :))

Now on week 3. Didn’t enjoy last run really struggled so deffo wasn’t looking forward to 1st run in my third week. Had to force myself out. Actually enjoyed it and found it easy ! How weird is that. Feeling like have turned a corner today. 🙌

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done for starting. I thought about doing this for a long while too then decided to just do it and graduated last week. Yes you get to enjoy completing each run and look forward to the next. It's a great plan, stick with it. Happy running!
