Week 1

I’m a returning C25K runner, progressed really well in 2019 then ill health struck, then Covid, then last year I had to have a stent inserted.

So after much procrastination I slipped into my ill fitting running gear, donned my trainers and put on some good music. I have just finished Week 1 and although it hurt, I feel like I have accomplished something.

Looking forward to Week 2, I may have to move between weeks, but I will get there.

Very well done on your decision to re start the program and completing week 1

You mentioned it hurt though, In what way ?

I will also be restarting hopefully in the next few weeks having recently had 3 stents fitted.

It may be worth revisiting the program guide.

Remember to keep well hydrated, keep the runs slow and finish off with some after run stretches
