Hi there Dabby-dot, I've just started out and have just completed my week 1 runs! 5K seems a long way off at the moment. How's your first week been?

So you are the daughter of Delly dot, hence the name Dabby dot, welcome to the forum and C25K, your mother is a regular here on the forum and I hope you will be as well.

Take all the runs slowly, you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, no running on consecutive days as that could cause a injury, I hope you enjoy your running journey with C25K, your mum may accompany you on any runs if she wants to, onwards and upwards πŸƒπŸΎ

Hi Dabby-dot. Ive just completed W1R1 only started yesterday after never running before. I must say my legs are really aching.

I’m not sure when to to attempt R2. Was going to go Sunday, have joined this group to keep me motivated.

Good luck with your journey on couch to 5K

Hi SoosieSoo !Well done you! It will get easier. Mum told me the first run is usually the hardest. I’m also doing R2 on Sunday, same run as before so hopefully I’ll see an improvement somewhere πŸ˜„

Good luck to the both of us!

Welcome Dabbydot and we'll done for deciding to do C25k. I'm sure your mum will give you good advice and you are always welcome to post, ask questions, or just share your running news on this encouraging forum. I'm not a newbie now, graduated last year and getting closer to 10k, but not there yet.I'm sure you will be graduating and running further in due time - it's all before you!

Enjoy your journey Dabby-dot and best wishes ☺️
