W6R2 Getting there...

Week 6. I can't believe I've got this far. At the end of week 5 I managed the 20 minutes without too much difficulty. And on Monday I'll do my first 25 minute run.

I think the hardest part of the whole plan was the first day - that first minute's run almost winded me. But now look, I'm running longer than I ever thought possible.

Thank you so much for this plan. It is amazing.

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.
