First run

Done my first run/walk today and was grand at the start but have to say the last run was very tough.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

I wasn't to bad at the start but definitely struggled near the end, it's definitely good to have the help when to stop and start etc

two more runs in the week to help you get to grips with it and then you will be ready to move on to week 2. Good luck!
