Good luck! Itโ€™s a great course and well planned. You may get to a point where you think you canโ€™t do it, but trust the program, it works!

Welcome to the forum and well done on your intention.

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 can do it! Go slow (look up Japanese slow running), a slow jog is what you need. A great playlist helped me too. Plan your week so you make it a habit but do it at your own pace, you donโ€™t need to stick to calendar weeks and if you need a rest day or 2, 3 etc, take them! Good luck!

Take it slow. Avoid the hottest part of the day. Drink plenty but don't burden yourself with a water bottle.

Good luck! ๐Ÿ‘

This will be the best decision you will have taken so far this year, C25K is a brilliant programme. You will have good and bad days, but if you follow the guide, you will want to complete this journey.

Good luck and enjoy๐Ÿ˜‰
