Back again, again!!

[Bravenewworld]

After completing C25K, about two years ago, I carried on doing 5K’s 3 times a week, with at least one 10k a month, until I had to change my job, and I got too tired after my shift to do anything but sofa surf! 😂

Anyway, I decided last month to start again, but not right from the beginning as my job is 5hours of walking a day, plus I cycle still so not been totally sofa surfing! But I started at week 5, which was too much too soon 😞 so last week I started week 3, run 3, which was much more agreeable and today in the somewhat chillier weather with mist and fog I went out and did week 4, run 3, and it felt good, looking forward to getting back to running 5k again 😁

Welcome back to the forum and well done on restarting.

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.

Well done! I’m also redoing the C25k journey, but from week 1 after having spent almost 3 month on the IC due to metatarsal issues and a stint of covid thrown in as well.

It’s great redoing the journey, as my confidence levels are so much higher than the first time around. Same but different.

Keep on keeping on!
