WK1 R1!!

Tried this about 5/6 years ago and loved it, but got married and had 2 kids close together. I'm now stones heavier and not in the best shape. I've got Bronchiectasis and pretty sure I had Covid-19 back in April so my breathing still isn't great but I thoroughly enjoyed this morning. I felt alive again! Time just for me. Can't wait for my next run!!

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.

Enjoy your journey.
