1st day of Couch to 5k.

Age 46. 6'4", 15 stone.

Aiming to be in good physical shape by the time I'm 50.

Feeling good about todays run in the rain. Decided I need wireless ear buds and I don't like my armband phone holder so I've ordered wireless buds and a running belt to hold my phone / keys etc.

Happily knackered after Run No.1.

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.
