Started yesterday. Found it harder than I thought. Really enjoyed though. Looking forward to seeing some progress. Going to keep at it.Think the guns and roses and Metallica in my ear helped. Keep on keeping on 🤙🏻🤘

Well done for starting, great playlist. I finish the plan on monday, but I remember week 1 and how tough it is. The progress it amazing if you stick at it. I run Monday, Wednesday, Friday and take the weekend off. If I can do it...you can. Enjoy your journey. Good luck.

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.

I really struggled in week one. Now just completed week 3 and definitely seeing improvements. Finntroll was my music of choice this morning 🤘
