I wish I'd joined this group before undertaking my very first run! Thank you for the welcome and the really useful tips. I have definitely been running too fast because I know that I would not be able to hold a conversation. Hoping to do run 3 today, so will aim to slow it right down and look to see what difference it makes. Thanks again

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

It sounds like you might have already read it, but 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.
