Hi. I’m Ruth. Determined to get fit in this new year but haven’t exercised seriously for quite a while. I tend to start well and give up easily so have joined this group for support and encouragement. Going for my first C5K this evening after work.

Welcome to the forum.

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

To keep running, keep smiling.

Welcome. You can do this, there’s no requirement other than committing and refusing to quit... build it into your schedule and in a few weeks you’ll probably want to run daily and have to resist the urge to run on your rest days, many of us do. Come back and tell us how the runs went and ask any questions you have.

It was tough as I had to do it in the dark but it’s done! Thank you
