Week three

[Gymbutnorunner]

Just completed week three run one

I go to the gym

But have NEVER ever ran. I hope it gets easier! I am enjoying it though

It does get easier.

Week 5 it all seems to fall into place.

Each step of this brilliant programme, gives you the strength and stamina to go on to the next stage.

Happy running

I'll let you know my verdict on Week 5 on Sunday. Run 1 was a stretch but within my new capabilities.

But seriously, Gymbutnorunner , this programme stretches you just enough each time for you to be able to do the next stage.

Totally agree with the others.

Every run in this amazing plan prepares you for the next

Take your runs slowly, slowly and you will be fine

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.

Enjoy your journey.

I'm a gym goer, cross training, spinning walking, rowing all ok. Tried running, always rubbish. But it gets easier and I've just finished week 9!!
