Just started my journey

Hi all, have NEVER been a runner or even a regular walker but always envied others who managed to fit it in! Life just whizzes by but with second child also ready to fly nest next year I felt I have no more excuses now. I did my first run on Saturday and hope to go for second one after work today. It's like REALLY HOT and muggy these days but am hoping I will complete it without cheating :) Cheers

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

The only person who loses out if you cheat is you..........stick to the plan.......it works.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Brilliant- my name used to be “robert not a runner” but after a few weeks I had to change it!

The programme really works - some runs seem odd but just trust it and follow it to the letter. Lots of great support and advice on the forum here too!
