First post, but already more than half way through the programme! My run in the morning will be W5R2. I already can’t believe the difference in my fitness. 5 weeks ago I would have laughed if someone told me I’d be preparing to run for 20mins without stopping; now I’m excited for Saturday morning to get it done.

Well done on getting to week 5, good luck for run 3 of week 5, take that run slow and steady, once you have completed it you will be very proud of yourself. 😊

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.

Well done, Week 5 was my favourite. I think when you finish it you realise you can do the whole programme. Have a good steady run on Saturday and prepare to have a grin on your face the whole day :D x

W5R2 done this morning. Was delighted to find myself thinking I could do it again if I needed to so hopefully Saturday will be a pleasant experience! Definitely looking forward to it

Did the same run this morning without looking what was in store in advance . When I heard 2 8min runs I was glad I hadn't looked first ! Like you I couldn't believe I was able to do it . Monday is my final week 5 run so I'll wait til then to see what's in store for that one . Good luck on Saturday πŸ’ͺ
