Brand New to C25K

[Otherside-of30]

I have just started the C25k with 14 year old son, we completed run 1 week 1 yesterday and we are already feeling good. I have 3 stone to lose and thought this would help as well as starting a new hobby. My son is slightly over weight so thought it would be a good idea to team up. Wish us luck 🤞

That’s super you’ve teamed up with your son. I have two stone to lose that’s my reason for jumping on this programme. I felt like the slowest person in the park today 🤣

Slow is soooo good.....too many people start too quick and get into all sorts of bother!

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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.

You have made such a good choice to start this. Since I started, I have run with two of my children and its really nice to share the time together doing something healthy and positive. Keep it up and please do come back and let us know how you are getting on. 🙂🏃‍♂️

Fantastic doing something together and creating healthy habits! My son has just started this and it’s great doing it alongside him and seeing the pleasure he gets from achieving something he’s finding quite tough. Loving the mum & son time - previous
