Hi folks I haven't posted for a while as I've been struggling with the menopause and was feeling under par 😕 Anyhow, started at week 5.run 1 last week again and this week, week 5 run 2 but I'm not feeling any good until the second run..... Should I warm up more. I feel good on the latter? Thanks in advance. 😁

Well done.

If you read this FAQ Post about the Toxic Ten, you may understand what is happening to your body healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

There is a link in the guide to the plan to dynamic stretches which are an ideal way to extend your warm up.

Thanks for the advice. Should I do a little jog before my initial run then, or double my warm up walk? 🤔

Try the dynamic stretches in the link before you start the session.

Hi,

I have recently started dynamic stretching as well as the warm up walk and I dont experience that toxic 10 anymore and settle into my run easily...

All the best...
