Well done , it's a good feeling seeing the week done. Just done week 7 ...go for it , it is so rewarding. Just remember ...its not about speed. It's such a personal run which makes it less worrying . You are going to be surprised how well this works ..enjoy

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.

Thank you. I realized after reading that what we do before and after a workout matters a lot in keeping us in shape
