Beginner!! Hi 👋

Hi fellow 5k’ers ... Today is my second day on the couch to 5k !! I’m knackered but happy I’m doing it ... haven’t got any questions yet but I’m sure I’ll have more as I get further into it ! I have read some posts and taken note of slow jog not speed run which was helpful

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.

Well done for starting this.

My tips would be make sure you do a warm up and an after run stretch, for example nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/h... and build up calves now on the non run days, then hopefully you won't have the problems that I did in W4
