Week 2 Run 2 Complete!

[runforfun_]

Just finished my run and thought I should join this community to get myself some motivation for future weeks! Any tips for when it starts to get more difficult?

Welcome to the C25k Community😊

I found so much helpful advice and information on here I know I wouldn't have got to the end without it.

My main advice would be go slowly just don't worry about how fast you are going and trust the program.

Enjoy your running journey.

Welcome! Dijep has given you the best tip ever - think snail or tortoise!

Keep posting your runs and start following people at the same stage or a bit ahead of you. I found it incredibly motivating - you'll find a lot of support on here. Also there is brilliant information in the pinned posts that are well worth reading.

Good luck!

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.

The demands get greater, but it doesn't get harder, because you are better able to cope with them.

Enjoy your journey.
