First couch to 5k run done.

Was breathless at the end but felt good, maybe I should slow the run to more of a light jog as I’m such a novice.

Need motivation to confine once I start back at work on 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.

Welcome to the forum! Well done for getting off the couch and starting the programme. Be sure to read Iannoda’s link. The best advice ever is to slow down! Then, when you have, slow down some more! The programme will then do its magic. Don’t forget to post your progress on here.

Happy running! 👏👏👏👍
