I'm new here 😁. My first run will happen tomorrow, I am a bit nervous to be honest. I've downloaded good music and... I will let you know how it went.

Hey welcome to the forum and welcome to the program!

There is no need to be nervous , your just going for gentle jogs and walks 😁

Have you read the program guide

healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It will be hot tomorrow so better to run early in the morning if you can .

Come back here and tell us all about it ! πŸ˜πŸ‘

Good luck. Just believe in yourself and your already half way there. I found the podcasts really helpful. Sarah Millican got me through.

Welcome. The first run is the hardest. Once you’ve done that, you’re on the journey. Looking forward to your report. Good luck.

Good luck, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I usually run with a couple of friends on different days but today was my first solo run and I even got up super early to get it done before the heat hit 😊

Good luck to you. I am at week 7, and was 100% couch potato. I didn't even think it was possible for me to run. And this morning I ran for 25mins non-stop!! So it really is a great program for getting you running. Good for you for taking it up πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Good luck, had my first run yesterday despite being advised not to due to surgery for a broken neck and having no exercise for 4 years. Absolutely loved it 😊
