Week One Done!

Completed week one. Perhaps not the best tome to do it when we are in the midst of a heatwave. But I enjoyed it and am proud of. Y achievement. Can’t see how I will be able to run for thirty minutes, but I’m going to try!

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.

You don't need to worry about running for 30 minutes........just concentrate on the next run and the magic will happen.

Enjoy your journey.
