Just done my first run ever and I did it!!!! 😃 So pleased I have always hated running and never been any good at it but signed up to do a 5k run in just over three weeks time so hoping this will help and also shed some pounds fingers crossed

Well done for starting the programme! A great decision.

If you haven't run before, running a 5k in three weeks time is a huge ask of yourself. Run/ walking is entirely possible though, depending on your current fitness level. Many, many people run walk a 5k so it is not a problem. Stick with the programme and best wishes with the 5k.

Well done for starting :) Please take the sensible advice of Millsie-J ... and those of us who echo it... it is a big ask, so don't try to run the 5K... :)

Follow this programme and maybe walk. run it... but keep with the programme :)
