Well I started the couch to 5K today and I have to say I really enjoyed it, tough but good, haven’t run in years!

Well done. I did week one twice and I Finnish week 2 this morning, I have a feeling I might have to do week 2 again before starting week 3.

Oh God, I’m guessing that means it’s hard work?! Lol! What have I signed up for?! 😜

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.
