W3R2 done this morning. The first jog seemed hardest but the last one I could have kept going a while. Don’t know how long thou! 😳 I only joined this group yesterday it’s good to see other people who are in the same position as me i.e. first time runners who are not exactly youthful!
I’m 63 with certain health issues (I won’t bore you) suffice to say I struggle and I’m not a natural runner.
Keep posting I love hearing your stories.
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.
Welcome and great job getting started. Most runs are harder in the first few minutes, so that’s all perfectly normal... and finishing with the feeling that you could carry on is always a good sign... running on to find out how far is almost always really bad of course. Well done all round.
There’s many of us here who, while not exactly being youthful, are fitter than we’ve ever been in our lives, not to mention happier.
You keep posting too, we are both your support team and your virtual running buddies.
Have a wonderful journey... 1/3 of this plan is done after your next run.
Hi, I'm also 63 and have also just done my week 3 run 2 yesterday !
Finding week 3 quite enjoyable, both breathing and stamina appear to be improving this week .
Looking forward to final week 3 run on Sunday , new running shoes on Monday and week 4 next week 😬👍
Well done you! I agree with the breathing and stamina improving. I am envious of new shoes. I have the weekend off and do Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 🙂🏃🏽♀️
Yes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be my days of choice and a weekend off, but can't resist going out tomorrow then hopefully start week 4 on Tuesday with new shoes 😬
Keep going or repeat a week?
Keep going
KEEPING GOING
