2nd chance!

Hi all. Did the programme during the first lockdown . Nearly killed me I am not a natural runner. Shortly after I had an accident and broke my femur which is now pinned and plated. Going to do it again, but on a treadmill and will walk more than run and just increase the incline. Hope this counts! But determined to do it. Could swim it easily but that won't count! Am 60 now, slim and fairly fit. Wish me luck and the same to all of you just starring out x

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.

Enjoy your journey.
