At 58 my life is littered with things I've started but never finished so I'm feeling quite proud of myself this morning :) It was a tough start - the first 10-15 mins were a bit of a slog but then it all seemed to fall into place and I actually enjoyed myself.

I know!

Also, I want to say what a fab and supportive bunch you are! So much generous advice and encouragement, and tons of helpful links all freely given. Just lovely. Thank you xx

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.
