Day 1 on here as needing some help to get fit and lose weight. I was dreading going out for my 20m run in Wk 5. Finally dragged myself out of the house and did it. So glad I did. Think I would have stayed in if I hadnโ€™t joined this forum. ๐Ÿ˜

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.

Thank you. Done my stretches for first time since starting. I have run in the past but injury stopped me so just getting back into it slowly.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5 ๐Ÿ˜Š, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š
