Frist Run🙌

[Safamama]

W1R1! Actually made it, I managed to get off the couch.

My legs feel like jelly😂 but so proud of myself for doing it.

Great start! Those legs will get used to this... just try to keep them loose, don’t sit for too long at a time. You’ve taken the hardest step and completed what for me remains the hardest run I’ve ever done (and I’ve been to 13 miles) so yeah, be damn proud of yourself... carry a smug grin all the way to run 2!

Hi. Brilliant well done 👏👏👏👏. I’m on w3r2 next. Had lots of good advice the best of which was to embrace my inner snail and go slower. Still a good physical workout and really works. Check out Japanese slow running on u tube. Sorry not techie savvy enough to paste a link but pretty sure if you google Japanese slow running you’ll get there.

Keep it up 💪💪💪

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Enjoy your journey.
