Week 1 run 3

[Smudge72]

First time posting, and first time doing this. Haven't run for years and amazed at how unfit I am. Felt really good though. Laura is helping me through!

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.

You took the plunge 👍 you'll feel the benefits that's definite 🙂

[Smudge72 in reply to Hidden]

Yep, it's definitely getting started that's the hardest. Thanks!

[Hidden in reply to Smudge72]

Well done, keep it up it's worth it 👌

Well done; likewise when I started 6 months ago; you will not believe the health benefits that you will experience both mental and physical; keep at it; perseverance is everything and you can improve on your style and form too. Good luck.

You will amaze yourself over the coming weeks, I am sure of that I certainly did. I finished in August and I am still running I never thought I would but it gets hold of you. Good luck with next week.

I’ve just done week 1 run 2. It’s good to find someone at a similar stage in the process. I’ve never really ran and I’m surprised at how good it makes me feel. Keep at it!

[Smudge72 in reply to MazEC]

Thanks, you too. Likewise, everyone else seems to be well down the route towards week 9 but I'm not in a rush. Just amazed I'm doing it to be honest 😁

Me too, last time I went outdoors in exercise clothes intending to run would’ve been at school ...and that would’ve been 35 yrs ago! 🥴
