Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.

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.

Hi Wagper08 ,

First of all well done on taking that first step. Looking at the comments there has been some great advice.

Enjoy the journey C25K can teach you a hell of a lot about yourself both physically and mentally. Get stuck in.

Well done on getting started. 😀 I am just about to start C25k too. How did your first run go? I'm planning my first run for Sunday.

It was tough going but the sense of achievement is amazing. Got up early on Wednesday and did my second. It was easier as I knew what to expect 😃. Going again tomorrow. Good luck for your first run. Let me know how you get on.

Not what you're looking for?
