That Smarts

Just about to go on my 2nd run and I am still aching a bit from the first one! How long till the pain stops?

Congratulations on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1, perhaps you ran a little too fast on your first run, that run to many is the hardest run of the whole program, drink plenty of water before you do your second run , run it a little slower than you did today, hopefully the pain and aches should ease soon.

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.
