Day one run done! Not too bad actually. The only tricky part was pushing myself in the final run to REALLY run seeing as it was the last one. I’m proud of myself and actually looking forward to the next one on Sunday.

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! I found the first run really hard and felt like a wimp because it was one a minute, and every time Sarah Millican said ‘get ready for your next run’ I wanted to yell at her. Just completed week three and it’s definitely getting easier.
