What exercise do you do on days between C25K days

[EASTER1987]

Just joined HealthUnlocked. Into week 6 of C25K wondering what exercise other members do between the C25K days. I have been walking but think I need to increase this to something more challenging on the off days. Would be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you

I walk and hula hoop (weighted hula hoop). This had been my exercise regime everyday before I started the C25K program. Now I do this only on my running rest days.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

Any non impact exercise will be beneficial, especially leg and core strengthening.

There are links in this guide to the plan, which 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.

I have been doing an hour or two a week of yoga. Didn’t really think this would help my running, but it certainly does in terms of stretches and flexibility, it also helps with core strength.
