Not really a question as it has been answered... Never ran before and never thought I could!! During lockdown thought I'd start. Well I've just smashed running Week 6 run 3 and ran for 25 mins. I noticed that I'd only ran about 3 miles so came on to this site to see if that was normal or am I running too slowly. Thanks for all the chats on here... This had made me feel even better!!

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.
