Hello Colin, welcome to couch to 5k.

You'll find a lot of people on here who are the same as you, a little bit different form you and not the same as you. The thing is we all help one another to be healthier fitter and more mind focused.

Any questions you have will quickly be answered and it won't be long before your answering questions yourself.

So take it easy and let the fun begin. ☺️👍
