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.

Thank you for this. Found it very helpful indeed. Now I’m happier with my jogging pace. Thanks.

Just seen you post today re: W1R2 - well done.

Interested to see you mention jogging AND running above.

Please focus on JOGGING for C25K - you'll have a much better experience, I promise you.

So... nice and slow, very easy paced, and *always* in control of your breathing. If you can't talk comfortably, you're going too quick.
