Week 3 of C25K starts tomorrow. Worried.

I am worried if I can do the 3 minutes run tomorrow or not. Finger crossed 🤞.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

The plan prepares you with all that has gone before.........and what is the worst that can happen......relax. Follow the link in the guide to the post about mental approach.

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.

You can and you will.

You will, many of us felt the same at the start...but the app does work -walking and running is a match made in heaven. 👣

[SJK9025]

You can. You absolutely can. We all felt the same. Talk to yourself like you’d talk to your best friend (nicely and positively!). And go slow. Slow and steady.

Hi Debicado, don't worry, you really can do this! You are super prepared for it, and will feel brilliant afterwards 👍😀

[Teresafaith Graduate]

We've all been there and felt exactly the same!- go super slow, you will do it.

[Debicado]

Thank you everyone for assuring me. I have been unwell for last 3 years, jobless due to health. Therefore I really want to get back my fitness this year so that I can get back to my life again.

Just as another way to look at it... even if you did find yourself stopping or walking before the end of a run segment, you'll have gained so many worthwhile things from the attempt... and you get to have another go in a couple of days.
