I was so worried about going from 3mins to 5mins and ran like my grandad (i. e. super slow) but bloody well did it and am proper chuffed. So, thought I'd share!

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.

That is brilliant! And running like your grandad is the key to getting there, ie nice and slow. You are doing so well!
