W5 R1 today

Hi everyone, I've just signed up to the forum, though I'm on W5.

I could run 5k before starting, but very slowly, and I wasn't getting out there often enough to build fitness. I needed a structured programme to keep me motivated and improving through lockdown. C25K is definitely helping my running.

All the best to everyone.

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.
