Done. Took it much slower today as w8r2 I went out far too quick, set myself some new pace records by accident, but nearly killed myself in the process. Much steadier pace today, and felt good at the end, could have kept going.

Final week up next. Get it done.

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.
