So this will be the 3rd time that I'm starting couch to 5k... I managed to get to week 8 last Yr and then hurt my back and that put me out for weeks... It was such a struggle to start again so the months passed. Tried to pick it up again but no luck... This week I had enough of feeling lazy and unfit so have started all over again. I completed my 2nd run of week 1 today and felt good about it.

Well hello and welcome back. Well done π on your re-start.
Have been to see a sport physiotherapist about your back. It could be something to do with your running action. Now that shops will be re-opening soon, it could be your trainers. I wouldnβt want you to be laid low again with your back I want to succeed and complete the programme.
Hey... Thanks for the concern. No it had nothing to do with the running. I was putting my son to bed and it just went... I've fully recovered now thanks. I've seen a physiotherapist in the past for it, but may be a good idea to pay them a visit again, thanks.
Good on you for having the gumption to start again, after your setback last year. You have all your previous experience to build on (and to pass on!) and Iβm sure itβs already starting to lift your spirits right back up just by getting back on track! Enjoy! ππβοΈ
