Hello and welcome!

Download the podcast or App, pop on your gear and you are off.

Start slow and stay slow. Speed can come much later.

Jancanrun has given a link that is very well worth a read.

Good luck and post often.

Thank you I’ve downloaded the app and I’ll try it out. Can you listen to music when using it?

With the app yes, with the podcast no, the music is already there, some love it , some dont! Enjoy 😀

Just remember to start the music before you fire up the app. That way the sound mutes for the instructions.

Don't think/plan too much and get the first run done. After that, you will be fine.

Hi please feel free to add me I only started 7 weeks ago so I'm pretty new too.

Everyone is great on here but you can always private message me if you don't want to ask whole board.

I downloaded the couch to 5k BBC app on phone I use the Michael Johnson voice to tell me what to do on the run. I also play amazon music free mixed indie songs as I run and the couch to 5k app cuts in at points and talks telling what to do next. It's like having a personal trainer there its great
