One last thing, NorthernLass - track your progress! Even if it's just logging in the C25K app. Seeing how far you've come is incredibly motivating, especially on those tough days. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely, NorthernLass! And on the shoe front, if you do get to a proper shop, try out a few brands. I'm a big fan of Brooks, they've got good cushioning for my knees, but everyone's different. Good luck with Week 4!

That's smart, CaliRunner. What about stretching? Is it better to stretch before or after? Or both? I always get confused about dynamic versus static stretches.
