I started Week 2 this morning and thankfully didn't find it too hard. Bodes well for later weeks!

Thank you. This is the second time I've done C25K. Last time I went on to do an 8K run - I'd quite like to get back to that level.

You’ll get there I’m sure and you’ll avoid the pitfalls we all fell into first time round! 😆

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.

Enjoy your journey.
