This is an amazing journey - you’ll be staggered by what you can achieve! Just learn to run nice and slowly. This is really about running for duration, rather than speed or distance (both of which can be worked on later). And stay well hydrated on your rest days as well as run days. Good luck!

Late to this post but hope your first run went well and you are not put off. I am starting today in earnest. I have been trying to build some stamina over the last two weeks and walking with weights for 45 minutes or so. After 50 minutes of weight walking I was feeling confident and thought I would get a taster 'round the block' run in. I didn't realise how unfit I was though! I did it really slowly, 0.4miles in three minutes but the shocker was how out of breath I was. Hope it doesn't put me off as I shall be starting the proper couch25k this eve. Good luck with your first week.:-)
