Anyone local?

I've just finished W2 Run 2 and it's getting tough! I have the motivation to go, but I don't enjoy it while I'm doing it.

Anyone near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire fancy a running buddy?

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.

In my opinion you are better off doing C25k with just us on this forum as your run buddies..........nobody will let you down, there is no compromise on pace and it will build your own self motivation.

Enjoy your journey.
