Hi, I've just joined this page from the couch to 5k app and today I completed day 1. When I finished I thought I might die but determined to go again on Thursday 😀

Yes we all felt like that at the beginning, but trust me the plan is fantastic and if you follow it slowly you will be graduating. When I started I didn’t think I’d be able to run 30 minutes but a miracle happened and it will happen to you.
