New to couch to 5k

[Daisieruns22]

Just started this week couch 2 5k ! Not normally a early morning persons or fitness but some reason I’m wanting to get up and go gym , helping so much with mental health . Actually look forward to the next morning .

I am looking for a gym buddy who is willing to give it a go but not to give up easily

Funny how you enjoy things you think you will not. Enjoy your journey . Remember to leave a day rest between runs , even at the very early stages.

Yes your right ! I did my first run Sunday , then today so my next run will be Thursday . The early morning sets your day nicely , also nice to have a empty gym … feeling positive each day

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.
