Hi all. Up to W6 , R2 and I stopped running for 3 weeks as mentally I'm finding it tough to keep running rather than physically.

Anyone else?

Welcome to the forum and well done 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.

Most people find running to have positive mental effects. Follow the link in the guide to the post about mental approach.

Relax and enjoy your journey.
