Great to run! Working towards 5k park run and running in Epping Forest with my friend and the elves! Wanted to connect with others. Currently running 30 minutes (30 x 1 minute of 40sec run/20sec walk)

Looks a lovely place to run! 

As the programme starts with one minute runs why not try week 1 and if that's easy do week 2 next time out- and so on until you reach a level that feels more challenging. The runs in weeks 1-4 are three repeats but week 5 has 3 different runs.

Just have to find what suits you!

Many thanks for the tip. Forest is great to run in - full of beauty, soft ground, extra oxygen and shade from the trees. My friend is in a running club based there.
