Good day to you all, I've just completed my first run in over 35 years and used the Couch to 5k app. I'm glad I used the app because I know I wouldn't of done it with out. I'm hoping I can keep motivated to finish the 9 weeks of running and move on to better things. Cheers!

It’s an incredible journey! Can’t recommend sticking at it enough!! Just learn to run slowly and you’ll get there. Pace and distance can be worked on later! The durations are the key. Good luck!!
