Well done! This is the first day of the rest of your life!

This programme is AMAZING! You can do this! The biggest thing is getting out and doing that first step! Being motivated is the key! Keep posting your progress on here, it gives you that support from others that have gone through the same as you and know how you are feeling!

Keep at it!

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.
