Welcome to the forum and well done

on your progress.

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.

Stay nice and slow for your next run.........it catches many people out.

Enjoy your journey.

Congratulations on completing that run, nothing to dread, you should be very proud of yourself, once runners complete run 3 of week 5 they know that they will graduate in around 4 weeks time.

Onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ˜Š
