Well an hour ago I joined this app posted 1 message about how nervous I am at beginning my journey (again) tomorrow and I am overwhelmed by the positive responses I've had.

Thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to reply to me and offering words of encouragement

I cant believe I'm saying this but I'm actually looking forward to going out in the morning to start all over again 😁

Welcome to the forum and well done joining the most supportive community on the internet........probably

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.

Ahhh thank you, it all feels so friendly and positive, which is what I needed. I'm not very tech savvy so still finding my way, but I have had some great tips and advice

Good luck with your running and I hope you succeed this time. I’ve just finished week 2 and I’m enjoying running more everytime I go out

I’ve just read your first post and replies - and I’m so glad that this lovely forum has wrapped you up in its bubble and made you confident - even optimistic- about tomorrow! It really is a lovely place to get support advice and encouragement and there are lots of people just like you. I know it’s not really, but I call the programme magic because of how it makes you feel mentally as well as physically. You will have trials and tribulations along the way- but also many triumphs and successes- and we are here to share them all, and have a few laughs along the way. Good luck - you’ve got this! 💪🏻

Thank you, I'm truly overwhelmed with how strangers have responded to me. 2 weeks ago when I had my tantrum and came home crying and now my mindset has really changed

Positive vibes 😁

That's what I'm discovering already, I went out this morning with a more positive approach after chatting on here yesterday
