Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

If it is tough, slow down......... C25K is designed to build stamina and basic endurance which, counterintuitively is done by running slowly.

Enjoy your journey.

I hated Jo Whiley at the start too. But she saw me through to graduation!! I actually ran W9R3 with her again this morning. I actually miss her now so every now and then I go back to the app and really enjoy it.

Good luck with your runs. You can do it x

Sarah Milligan is nicer. We'll done getting this far. We all struggle but the programme gets us through gently in the end. Go slow and stick with it and soon you'll be a runner.

No jo was fine. I’ll stick with her for now. Looking forward to being a runner again...Albeit 30 yrs on!!!

I’m a Sanjeev fan myself. Isn’t it great to have choices ? Wish they’d done that for school PE 😄

I started off with Sarah Milligan but found she started to annoy the heck out of me ha ha I now use Laura she’s much more motivating for me!

Top job on your first run! 🙌🏻

Happy new year!
