Day 1 .....

2 Replies

Well I started this morning - Day 1 and I have to say I had a smile on my face when I finished. It was a bit longer than I first thought it would be, but OK. I felt I was rather “ploddy “ with my technique (have I got a technique?) if you know what I mean. Will do stretching and am looking forward to Thursday.

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.

Thanks I did download and print off. I had a bit of a headache when I finished, but very pleased with myself 😊
