For you, Dad ❤️❤️❤️

I nearly completed this two years ago then my dad got ill. He has just passed due to contracting Coronavirus while in hospital waiting for a procedure. I’m missing him terribly and the end was so horrible - none of my family could go see him! I’m going to complete this time - just finished W1R2. I’m going to do it for me and my dad.

So sorry for your loss.

What a lovely idea to start running again.

I wish you every success and hope every run gives you strength and feels like your Dad is there with you, cheering you on!

The very best of luck 👍🏻

My sympathies for your loss. So hard at this time, even worse than usual. When I see feathers on the ground as I run I think it is my mum(white) and dad (grey) cheering me on. Happy running.

Sending you virtual hugs xx

I lost my Mum two weeks ago in hospital (stroke), so I understand your sadness and frustration with all the craziness surrounding no-visiting.

Today the sun is shining, there are flowers in bloom, take one day at a time, I found sitting in the garden listening to the birdsong highly therapeutic. Xx

You can do this, for yourself and your Dad. I'm betting he'll be with you all the way 💖

I am so sorry for your loss WildflowerJo, I am sure once you graduate from C25K in his memory your father would have been very proud of you.

Welcome back to the forum and well done on getting restarted.

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.

Your Dad would be proud of you.

Enjoy your journey.
