Been putting this off for so long but reading everyone’s posts got me to make a start.
Didn’t really run, more of a slow jog, but one thing I’ve learned in the last few days is this is my journey back to fitness and if I make it fun I’ll get there😁. My two lovely girls were cheering me on.
Let’s do this👊🏾
Welcome to the forum and well done 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.
Hi Rozeelala
Well done for starting 👍
A lot o people find the first run the hardest .
Do read the 'How to run couch to 5K' guide .
It's full of important stuff !
Do the dynamic warm ups, and after run excercises, keep well hydrated and run slowly !
Most of all enjoy the program.
Thanks. Just been reading - some great advice. Used to play league netball but always hated running. I actually enjoyed it - have to make sure I take it slowly
Yes, the slower the better ,
Nearly everyone starts off too fast and can't breath !
You should be able to speak full sentences while running without gasping for breath
Yay! Well done 👍
I started this week too 😁
Lots of newbies I noticed and tons of support which makes this a whole lot easier. Well done on starting x
That’s what made me start. I was going to leave it til next week. It’s a lovely site😁
Welcome!! Sounds like you are off to a brilliant start!
