First two sessions done!

Been ten years since I last regularly ran. Was a bit afraid to get back into it after having a couple of heart stents fitted but really enjoyed the first steps towards that 5k!

Sounds like David has done the first two sessions of the NHS C25K plan - check it out here nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/... Thegirlabouttown

I downloaded the App and it guides you through getting started. First three sessions mix 90 seconds walking and 60 seconds running. Not saying it’s easy and a few minor aches but overall feeling great!

This is a fabulous programme and will take you to 30 minutes running; gently and slowly. If you have't already, have a look at the FAQs for loads of really good advice :)
