hi everyone,

I've just finished my week 4 run 2 and I'm finally starting to think that I could do this. The first run of week 4, I was so scared about but I did it with ease. he second wasn't so easy but I did it! Will not be running midday again though. I'm actually looking forward to the next run which I never thought I'd say lol.

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.

Of course you can do this( you have started 22 years younger than I was!)

Relax and enjoy your new found freedom! 🙂
