Hi just started the Couch to 5k! I ran a 5k about 10 years ago successfully when I was a lot fitter so hoping to get back to it!

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

Don't compare what you did 10 years ago and rebuild your running body nice and slowly.

C25k works!!

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.
