Starting out again

I first did C25k during last lockdown and felt amazing!!! I had great plans to keep going but really missed the targets being set and more so the encouragement of this group.

It’s taken me 5months to put on all of the weight AND MORE that I lost last time - and I have really felt ‘flat’. So this morning I took the bull by the horns and set of week 1 day 1.

It was definitely not easy but I am More ready then the last time to beat this challenge again.

Good luck to everyone setting out this week.

Welcome back to the forum and well done on restarting.

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.

How great to hear from you and well done for getting back out there. Had been wondering how you were 😊 Well at least you, and Ollie!, know what to expect this time and that you can do it! Good luck, you’ll be amazed how quickly you’ll be back ‘on it’ 😁
