Hi,

I'm not sure running will help your condition, but it will make you feel better in yourself and will make you healthier. I've really enjoyed my progression and those weeks when you achieve a big milestone (first long run, first time you finish a run without feeling completely wiped out) really boost your self-confidence.

I'm not a medical professional, but as long as you follow the instructions, listen to your body, I don't think it will hurt.

Best of luck

Hi Ruby,

This program is certainly going to keep you active and will improve your overall fitness. I suffer with Crohns disease and have done for over 20 years, luckily I'm fairly symptom free most of the time, but occasionally I get a knock back. Working through the program is going to make you feel so much better about yourself...it might not cure your condition but believe me you will feel more alive.

Good luck!
