Ran a 10k 18months ago, since then can't walk up a hill without getting out of breath, still waiting for Hospital appointments for tests, been doing a bit on cross trainer & excessive bike as fed up with waiting, going to start this 'couch to 5k' tomorrow

Welcome... :) Just take it slow and steady,follow the programme... and as long as you are listening to your body... and taking your rest days.. you are on the way !

Not sure what your hospital tests are for..but make sure you have the go ahead from your GP for this maybe ?
