Just thought I would say hi. I am fairly new to couch to 5k but I am addicted already. I never in a million years thought I would/could run, let alone enjoy it! Yet here I am 🤣✌ any tips please send my way xx

Well done MumOnTheEdge you've started an addicting hobby, as for hints and tips I'd suggest definitely simply peruse the forums there's so much info, advice on everything from stretches to clothing and the mistakes we've all made etc and more 👍 good luck and see you on week 9 🥳

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.

Enjoy your journey.

This sounds amazing, thank you! Stamina wise I'm doing ok but my knees are taking the hit 🙈 I will definitely have a read of this

You'll soon be telling all your friends to do this.My advice is: when it gets tough it can be something physical, but usually it's all in the mind m.

[MumOnTheEdge Graduate in reply to Rennur]

Definitely agree with this 👌

It is amazing, I'm also on W3Day2. I have to take a week off for unrelated injury but I hope to catch up to you soon after. I don't want to lose the momentum.

Here's to a speedy recovery, good luck and I'm sure you'll rock it 🙌
