Couch to 5K

I have never been a runner so when my husband suggested the Couch to 5k, I never imagined I could even achieve a 90 second jog. My first attempt at 5k took me 54 mins, However now I can run for 30 mins & do 5k in 40mins this does include a walk to start & finish. Anyone thinking they can’t do it, just give it ago, a great feeling when you achieve it.
