First run today, in the pouring rain. Didn’t actually find it as bad as I thought it would be.

It’s early days but it was actually refreshing to run in the rain! (Never thought I’d say that!)

Look forward to the next one. I find this forum helps a lot with giving me motivation to actually get out there so thank you!

I know it’s only my first run but thought I would post and say hello! Have a great day everyone!

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.
