Just starting wk4 run1 tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Got throug wks 1-3 ok, hope the weather behaves.

Going to give it a try, just to see if I can. Each week I feel this way before run 1, then happier for the other runs.

I downloaded this to my phone before I started, it’s really helpful. Is this what they refer to as the podcast?

This?

If you check out the FAQ post about How to run C25K it tells you,

"The podcasts are available here nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Couch-to... Scroll down the page to the box containing the nine separate podcasts and click to select and download each one. Alternatively, if you have iTunes on your device you can download via that.

The Android and iOS apps are available here nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/...

The information on both podcasts and apps is the same. The podcasts are led by your trainer, Laura, who will tell you when to start and stop and give useful tips along the way, interspersed with music. On the app you have a choice of four celebrity trainers, plus Laura, giving all the same advice, but you can play your own choice of music."

I started wk4 yesterday- not as bad as I thought to be honest. 3 minutes suddenly seems OK!!

It’s the five minutes that worries me.

You can do it! The last minute was a struggle for me but I’m so happy that I did it. Looking forward to the next one now 😊

Thanks for the advice. I’ve got an early start tomorrow so I’d better get some shut eye. Silly question, I downloaded this to my phone before I started, is this what they refer to as the podcast?

Once again, cheers for your support.
