Just joined the group. Have just completed week 3. I am 57 and have not done any proper exercise for about 10 years. Trying to get myself ready for week 4. Just seen the programme. (gulp).

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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.

Yep, rumour has it that week 4’s going to be interesting! 😬I’m just trying to focus on one run at a time and keep it as slow as possible! 🤞Good luck! 😀

Week 4 was my favourite week, after feeling unable to complete even a 60 second run in week 1. I am 51 and did little exercise before this (just completed week 5). Good luck with week 4 x
