Congratulations on going to start C25K this evening and welcome to the forum, take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, good luck for your running journey with C25K, keep posting here on your progress.

Thank you all..I'll keep you posted..if I did find week one easy, as I'm fairly fit but struggle to run consentley (I normally do HITT sessions) but gave up smoking in December so hopping to have improved stamina..do I just follow the weeks or can I move to week two?

[Returnagain Graduate in reply to Career78]

Follow the plan with all the runs in each week as this builds stamina and endurance. Good luck.

Well getting out the door is often the hardest, but don't stress about it. Go slow, slow and slow and you will do it. Trust the programme. And remember to let us know how you get on.
