It took me ten days to complete week 1, but I got there, and I am now feeling inspired to continue and complete the programme. Useful tip to increase my water intake, as that may have been contributing to the aching muscles and "heavy legs" (especially front of thighs!). Week 2 here i come tomorrow!

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.
