Back to the beginning!

After seeing some madly supportive posts on here and 4 years after graduating C25K here I am back again and week 1 run 1 completed! I know I can do it here’s to sticking the course! The dog normally sulks on a walk with no ball chucker but saw me putting on my running trainers and couldn’t wait to start -

She’s the best running buddy!

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.

Glad you’re back and making the dog happy again.. mines the same - she enjoys her walks much more with some running mixed in..😊

Welcome back, enjoy the journey back to 30 minute runs. By my calculations you started not long before me… and so looking at your restart I can only assume you love it super hot out there! 🤣

I just thought if I made another excuse I’d never do it!

You know you can do it, so you’re half way there. Happy running

Very best of luck. I started when you did roughly, and I've lost count of the number of restarts I've had since! You know you can do it and you are in very good company 😁
