W1R1 just completed, although really W1 R2

Downloaded a US app by mistake and completed W1R1 on that and then realised that it wanted to charge me a monthly sub to save my runs, but what the heck one lost run won't kill me :-)

Found this the 2nd run a little harder although Jo got me through, even if I did tell her to go forth as she told to start the 7th minute run. Enjoy Jo on the radio but now I in love her voice and you really do think she is talking just to you sometimes. 2 wee runs and salads for lunch, no carbs at tea and I have already lost 4Kg, although that probably says more about the excessive 104 that I started with.

Onwards and forwards

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.

Can I change my email address as I mistakenly started account with work address rather than personal?

Thanks Dave
