Well done, and absolutely fantastic that you didn't let it beat you. That shows a strong determined mind.

Thank you hoping to keep at it! Legs are now aching 🙈

Everyone on here was a beginner at some point. Keep going. Don't give up or stop, just slow down.

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.

Well done. I pulled my calf so badly on my first run I limped home. I also wanted to vomit after 60 seconds. You will do it, just trust in the plan x
