Starting at wk 4. First tried c25k in 2019 and got to week 7:1 before having to quit with achilles pain. Have done loads of brisk walking since then, got some proper running shoes, lost 3 1/2 stone last year, and feeling good about completing it this time 😊

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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.
