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?

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.
