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 on completing W1. Enjoy W2. I started last year at the ripe old age of 57, best thing I ever did.

Hi VwBird,

I'm fairly local to you (Stroud). I completed C25k just before Christmas and was, like you, a complete novice runner before I started. Well done for starting - now's definitely the time! And it gets much easier as the weeks go on (or it did for me). Enjoy!
