Welcome to the forum.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Enjoy your journey.
Hi! I completed my first run yesterday after not running for 15years lol it was hard work but perserve! Even if you feel like you can't do anything more then a slow jog, at least your moving! 🙂 Good luck on your journey.
Did my first on Monday after 3 years of no exercise. Had to take a break after 2 runs! Best advice is to take things super slowly and build up as you get going, and make sure you've got decent shoes on.

Welcome... you can do it... slow and steady as you go, you’ll be fine.
I was right it was painful by the end but managed to do it all even though I was jogging slowly at the end, bring on run 2
