Hi everybody! I'm new here and am on my 2nd run on week 2 of couch to 5k. I feel I'm doing quite well, how is everyone else getting on? I just brought some new trainers but I'm not sure if I made the right choice, what is everybody else wearing....any tips? Thanks 🖒

New to couch to 5k
Welcome. I completed C25k 19 months ago. It’s the best thing I ever did. I now love running 5K at least 3 times per week. And I’m a huge fan of Parkrun.
I suffered a little when I started first with pins and needles in my feet when I ran even though I had really good runners. I was advised through this forum to go to an independent running shop and have a gait analysis done. I did and bought a pair of running shoes which I still have. I only use them for running. I don’t suffer with pins and needles ever since.
If I was you I would just run and walk as you are. When you get further on through the plan you will know more. Enjoy.
Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes a link to a post about running shoes.
Enjoy your journey.
