I'm not lazy, but.....

.... when the instructions say (first week) for a total of 20 minutes, does that include the 5 minute brisk walk?

Google C25K NHS plan and you can see the week by week plan, really helped me to have a list

No, there are 8 runs.  I didn't realise this and included the 5 min walk in a total of 20mins, so did 6 runs.

I don't have a way of listening to the podcasts when I'm running, so got it wrong.

...and I didn't know I got it wrong until I saw someone comment on here saying that it goes from 8 to 6 runs for week two - oops!

Pinned post: a spreadsheet of all the weeks and all the runs, showing the walking and running.

You are allowed to say 'gulp' when you look ahead to subsequent weeks, but the C25K plan prepares you for each week and you'll be just fine. I promise.
