Well my second attempt at c25k. Am now about to start w5. Have been running round the hotel gardens the past 4 weeks. Am struggling have to say.

Maybe a change of scenery? I find I need to see quite far ahead of me to feel spurred on.

Thank you. I am tempted to go out but it’s hilly and scared I am going to suffer as I do enough in the grounds. I may need as I am getting bored.

The other thing I've been reading about on here is the good podcasts you can download to keep your mind less on the running, depends what you like but Infinite Monkey cage has a good few thumbs up from people, and if you've enjoyed Normal People" on tv recently they do a good podcast as well

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.

If you struggle on a run, can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

Enjoy your journey.
