Just come back from doing my first session. I'm surprised how achieved I feel. Although it wasnt easy or too exhausting, my trainer Michael Jordan kept me reassured that I could do it. Couldn't believe how fast it went by and how positive it has made me feel after shielding from covid 19 since March 16th.

Congratulations on completing run 1 of week 1 and welcome to the forum and C25K, onwards and upwards to run 2, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, run the running parts slowly, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, good luck for your running journey with C25K, so glad that you are no longer shielding after doing that since March.
