Look forward to hearing how your first run goes. Nice and steady now. Good luck. 👍🏻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

No, you are NOT mad, good luck for your first run with C25K, take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, I wish you good luck for your running journey with C25K 😊 🏃🏾
