W5R3 TIME GULP

[Doko58]

Nearly time to head out for W5R3 😬

Have taken on board the advice from others about it being more in the mind than a physical barrier as the plan so far has been building up to this so not as anxious as I was earlier in the week.

Looking a bit warm out there 🌥️ so planning to take it nice and easy and will have some water along the way.

Eeek

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.

Thanks, yes the first five minute message came as a pleasant surprise, no idea I'd been going that long, same with the others.

Good luck to you Doko58 on running, run 3 of week 5, take that run slow and steady, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself 😊 🏃🏾.
