W4R1 - I did it!! Wasn’t sure I would be able to make the jump to this week but really surprised myself running in -8 windchill took it steady and slowly and surprised myself at how I found I could keep going. Am beginning to believe in this now....oh and enjoyed it even though I was freezing my bit off! 🙌

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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.

That's great, I think Wk4 you really start to get into it and look forward to ticking those runs off. Next thing is you'll get sucked into the lycra and 'accessories' world, and then there's no looking back 😁👍

Did my first run today. And my thighs hurt! Did I enjoy it? Hmmmm. Not sure. Will I be doing it...

I'd never have believed it...

spurred me on and even told me I did a great job LOL! Hubby asked if I actually did any running...
