Week 1

I’m a returning C25K runner, progressed really well in 2019 then ill health struck, then Covid, then last year I had to have a stent inserted.

So after much procrastination I slipped into my ill fitting running gear, donned my trainers and put on some good music. I have just finished Week 1 and although it hurt, I feel like I have accomplished something.

Looking forward to Week 2, I may have to move between weeks, but I will get there.

Very well done on your decision to re start the program and completing week 1

You mentioned it hurt though, In what way ?

I will also be restarting hopefully in the next few weeks having recently had 3 stents fitted.

It may be worth revisiting the program guide.

Remember to keep well hydrated, keep the runs slow and finish off with some after run stretches

Not what you're looking for?
