I’ve actually started!!!

[Rozeelala]

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

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Rozeelala]

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
