How do you do stretches??

W1R2 done and dusted! And I'm very pleased with myself, although I couldn't do the full 60 seconds, I did around 45 and all of them.. unlike R1, so for me that's a win! I may have to do one more W1 run to be ready for W2.. but we'll see what. R3 brings!

Not sure why I was so anxious about this run with the achy legs.. its wasn't bad at all! 🏆 💪👍

Please can you tell the best way to stretch?

Well done.

Please read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which includes links to stretches for pre and post run (they are not the same thing) as well as many other tips such as minimising impact and hydration, all of which will help.

It's not a good idea to move on to week 2 until you can complete all the runs in week 1. If you're stopping after 45 seconds, you won't be able to do 90 seconds. Repeating the week is fine. Your body is setting the pace, not the calendar.

Cool.. that makes me feel much better! Phew! In that case, I will repeat W1.. thanks xx

Agree with nowster. As regards stretches check out Ben Parkes on you tube for pre and post run.
