Heard about C25K yesterday and started that afternoon.

Using the treadmill at the gym.

Really looking forward to tomorrow when I'll be doing run number 2!

Thanks for your reply Paul

I've just come back from treadmill session number 2.

I found it a little more work than session one but still not very hard.

I might give myself a two day break this time to let the old legs recover more.
