Can I ask what others did in Week 2? The running club I joined did 2 mins run 1 min walk but I found that really difficult. The descriptions on the NHS website seem much gentler. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

The NHS plan (that was the original foundation for this forum) says 90 seconds running with 2 minutes walking breaks in week 2.
So yes. Your running club takes a more "ambituous" approach.

As Tomas says...NHS is gentler and I feel, a steadier build up
You do this how you want to...it is your running journey..maybe mention this at yr group?

I would use the Nhs healthunlocked c25k podcasts. They definately work as so many if us can testify..
Running is something you have to do at your own pace, without the pressure of keeping up with others. Your journey can take as long as you need and the increments on the Nhs site are set to be challenging but totally doable as you progress.😊
Good luck...
