I have just completed week 1. I’m impressed with the amount of achievement I read about on here. I wonder if I will be posting the same. I can’t believe I can run at all really😂

Well done on starting !I felt the same back in May. 2020

Keep at it , you'll get there 😁👍

Well done on getting started. All you have to do is believe in yourself and believe in the C25K programme. You CAN do it. Take each run as it comes and don't let the thought of what comes next put you off. Every run prepares you for the next one. Have fun x

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.
