I'm new to running not ran since school and I was always last then 🙃. Just completes wk1 c25k. Left knee a bit tight and sore but determined to carry on. Slow and steady 🐢 tortoise.

Well done on starting the program 👍

I would suggest reading the guide if you haven't already , you will find a lot of support here on the forum and a slow steady tortoise is good 😁👍

Enjoy the journey

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.
