Wk 5 run 3

Things are getting serious! any advice out there for warming up (apart from 5 min walk) and warming down, would be very much appreciated!

Serious? We can’t be having that! This is going to be the best part of your day... relax... keep the pace down... grin like crazy as you complete it.

The guide to the plan will answer a lot of your questions. healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Welcome to the forums, great job getting the first half of this done. You can add dynamic stretches before a run (see the guide) but I don’t do them very often, the brisk walk suffices. Cooldown is all about bringing the heartrate down and blood flow back to normal gradually, as sometimes we can become faint if we just stop, with obvious consequences.

Enjoy this next run... it’s what you started this plan to do!

Check out Ben Parkes you tube channel, he has a warm up and cool down video which I found helpful.
