Looking for couch to 5K in Bolton area

[Ted62A]

Hi,

Could anyone let me know if there is a programme in my area that I could join in the next few weeks?

Just had knee surgery this week so looking for something to get me going again after a bad couple of years.

Well, C25K is something you do using the podcast / web programme

I did find this on google though, which might be of interest ...

Thanks Midrif,

I am not good with programs that is why I am looking for a group for encouragement. I will look to see if I can get along to the Bolton group link that you sent once my knee has healed. Thanks again
