20 min run

[Cockneysteve]

Hi I’m on week 5 run 3, enjoyed it so far and pleased with the progress so far, but not looking to tonight especially in the cold. But as they say no pain no gain .

I did that one on Saturday. Are you dreading the cold or the 20 min run?

The run mainly but I know that once I’m out there it will be hard. But I will do it. 😀

You will be fine Cockneysteve! I find the cold weather makes me look less like a 🍅 once I’m done 😀👍🏃‍♂️.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

Follow the link in the guide to the post about mental approach..........you need a positive outlook and miraculously it all becomes so much easier.

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.

As the creator of C25K, Josh Clarke says... the mantra for C25K is 'no pain, no PAIN' - i.e. you take it nice and easy all the way through . You gain nothing positive from pain - just pain and injury.

But I knew what you meant
