I struggled too and always really n on my own...but all I can offer is ....

- don’t go backward, just keep on repeating and if you can’t manage the jump up, then slowly add one more minute running

- I get bored with music so I find podcasts keep me more occupied , especially a subject that I really am interested in

You’ll get there

Lots of buddies right here... link up with someone the same week and plan your runs together :) If you are beginning again check the posts for newbies and form a team... we have had lots of folk do that and then all graduate together.

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.
