Congratulations on on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1, welcome to the forum and C25K, take all the runs slowly and keep ridgidly to the program, no running on consecutive days because that could cause a injury, drink plenty of water the to avoid dehydration, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 1 🏃🏾.

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.

After reading everyone’s posts on here it also inspired me. Week 1 run 2 planned for tomorrow. I feel the same as you, it was tough but not as bad as I was expecting. Exercise has been a key part of lockdown for me so I am really happy to try something new. Thanks to all on here for the inspiration 😊
