First run done

[Teds_mummy]

Just completed my first run. I have a condition called bile acid mal absorption which has made me pile on the pounds over the last few years. Hoping that running will help me get back into control!

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.

Oh my, I also have this condition and I suspect we could open a new forum on this alone!! 🙈I promise you that this programme will help you. Weight loss just in terms of numbers may be slow (this condition makes it surprisingly difficult!!) but you will certainly tone up and it will give you some 'control' over your health, which may sometimes have not seemed possible 😔

Hydration is key for us anyway and, as said above, even more important when you start this running malarkey 😁

Well done on your first run and I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck!
