W2R3 completed

Only the 2nd week in and I’m not having as much fun as I’d hoped.

I’m not looking ahead to see what Monday brings me for W3 but what I do need to get sorted is the music. I’m relying an amazon music but I think I need to spend Sunday getting my favourite tunes together to get me through. Honestly it feels a little doom n gloom after a great first week. Any music play list suggestions would be MOST welcome 😃

Thanks to all those that post on here, you are all my inspiration to get up, trainers on and get out the door.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

Slowing down to the recommended easy conversational pace makes it more achievable and for most, more enjoyable.

Enjoy your journey.
