Re—run

[Newbie_run]

Hi all!

After a long pause, yesterday I restarted the C25K programme..

I did graduate from it a few years back, but for one reason or other, including a new baby, never actually consolidated and became a runner..

So I am essentially starting again, and I found it hard enough the first time so wish me luck!!

Best of luck! And what a great decision to start again!!

Consistency, stretching, and rest days are my recommendations. I find the stretching to be particularly important as I used to have terrible shin splints and this time round (touch wood) not so much.

Keep in touch!!

Welcome back... full on exercise for you with a small one Please do check out the pinned post, How to Run C25K post, again... just to refresh your memory...

Slow and steady is still the mantra for me... and it works. Many of us have repeated the programme and it is so good... we just go with each run, each week, and I think as far as some exercise on non-run days... you are getting plenty in !

Awesome parents and carers... you are all amazing. Huge well done to you and please, do keep posting your runs... w e can help keep you going, happily!

Thank you so much, it’s really nice to have such a motivating group behind you I have a 1yo and a 6yo…so 90mins to myself each week will be a challenge but necessary!!
