I’ve just completed Week 6 and run for 25 mins! I really didn’t think I would progress this quickly. I’m looking forward to keeping on keeping on.

Huge well done you! The lovely long runs beckon now. They are perfect for relaxing into, and let those newly forming running legs do their stuff !

Maybe think about upping your core strength work too, on some of your rest days. As the runs get longer, we need to keep the rest of our body, up with the legs!

Brilliant! Slow and steady and on you go!

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.

Fantastic! It's so exciting to have moved beyond the walking breaks. Now we have to learn to pace ourselves over longer distances/times. If you're like me, it's only a few weeks ago you were worrying about extending 60secs to 90 secs - yet here you are only a few weeks later at 25 mins! Well done!

Not what you're looking for?
