Hello, I am new to couch to 5K! I’m Rachel, 23 years old and aim to do race for life! I have two young daughters and I am determined more than ever to get fit. I started with my supervisor so got to keep up, we are still on W1 :)

Just graduated today!!! Loved this programme - be assured it really works and designed really well. Always have faith and keep the running slow a steady.

Everyone is so supportive here, it keeps you going. Im doing a race for life in July, a great cause. Well done for starting

In 9 weeks you WILL be running for 30mins. Yeah it sounds stupid that a stranger can be so confident in another strangers progress. But trust the course and trust Laura. It works and you will run the race for life ! Good luck
