Hi Sara99. Welcome to the forum. Loads of advice and encouragement on here and a really friendly bunch too who all try to help each other out. Must admit in the 6 weeks I've been doing it my fitness has come on leaps and bounds and one of the best things I've done health-wise. So good luck with the program. Follow the advice on here and take your time.👍😁

Hi Sara - I didn't find this forum until week 4

I wish I had found it sooner.. The people are so supportive and such fun!....

You will love it!.. It's quite possibly one of the best decisions you have made! :-)

You will not believe how much it can transform your life.. I know I didn't truly realise and it's only now I'm starting to understand how fun and addictive running really is... plus the health benefits!

Stick with it - we even have fun when its tough

Welcome to the forum :-)

👋🏼hi and welcome- this is a lovely place to share your trials, tribulations and triumphs! Have you started the C25K today too? I only found it towards the end of W5, wish I’d found sooner. It’s magic, I’m a lockdown graduate, never run in my life but now I love it and might even ditch my gym membership when they reopen!

Look forward to reading your posts 🏃🏼‍♀️

I actually downloaded couch to 5k app today and did my first more walk then run lol. In First minute I ran for only 10 seconds and went out of breath 😆but by the end I was able to run for 40 seconds. 🤞🏻

Fab 👏🏼 - you will soon be tired of hearing the steady and slow mantra - but it’s stamina not speed that counts so slow down until you can jog or if you’re like me, bimble, without being out of breath and that’s your comfortable pace. 🏃🏼‍♀️🙂
