I like sticker charts myself - with a reward at the end 😄

If weight loss is your thing you start losing some pounds when you stick to 3 30 minutes runs a week.

I used the visual C25k chart and “ticked off” ✅ each run as I did it
Hi Ellen,i could not climb two flights of steps without puffing.Now on to week 7 run 1 but have been going twelve weeks to get this far,lots of repeat weeks just to get ready for the next step.So don't stop just repeat until you are ready to move on.
Al the best
