Chester or wirral running buddy?

[Firsttimerun1]

Is anyone in Chester or wirral who would like to buddy up to do this? I just joined but raining today! Be good to do with someone else?

Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.

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.

In my opinion you are better off doing C25k on your own at your pace with nobody to let you down and just the 119,000+ members of this forum as your running buddies.

Enjoy your journey.

Thank you. It is daunting but I will try my best.

I’d suggest you do it on your own Firsttimerun1 and concentrate on you, not anyone else. Having said that, I have no doubt that the more you post and the more you read other people’s posts, I’m sure you’ll find others who are at the same stage as you are and who you can compare notes with! Enjoy!

Thanks. It seems most people overcome their hesitations so fingers crossed. Thanks for the encouragement.
