Start of week 4

[Salmonpink]

I’m 56 and have kept fit with yoga and walking. I started week 4 today and felt very proud because I coped! Just thought it would be nice to connect with others doing couch to 5k.

Well done you for getting out there. It is a great plan. Iam on W6R3 tomorrow a bit nervous and excited at the same time keep running 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽

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.

I’m 60 and have never ran before. I’ve just completed week 4. I’ve found it tough this week as my knees are a bit sore and hamstrings quite tight. Thought I’d do a stretch class tomorrow and perhaps repeat one rum from this week before moving on. I’m super proud to have got this far tho!
