First run W1

[Rugbygirl76]

So I have just done my first ever run and must admit didn’t think I would manage gonna attempt run 2 tomorrow

Well

Done! X I am glad you got through it I think it’s one of the hardest runs of the programme that first one! X have a rest day tomo and remember to drink plenty 1 1/2 to 2 litres the day before to make sure your legs don’t feel too heavy on run day x good luck and keep us all posted on your achievements!

Hi Rugbygirl76 , well done on your first run!

Don't go tomorrow though, you need a rest day between runs

Happy running!

Do not skip the rest days. They're essential.

[Rugbygirl76]

Thank you and I will have a rest day tomorrow as you’ve all advised 😊 I have rugby training Wednesday so next run may be Thursday

Yay! Well done. Brilliant. Would echo other's advice about having a rest day in-between. Gives your legs time to recover and build up strength.

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.
