I’ve bloody done it! LITERALLY couch to 30 mins (4K). Took me 13 weeks as I def needed more that 1 day between runs, I took a week off due to a holiday and my husband is away a lot so hard to fit in with childcare anyway!

So just goes to show, if I can do it YOU CAN 😀😀😀 I’m 45, I’ve never run or found a sport / exercise I’ve stuck at. I think I have now 👌🏼🤗

Look at my chuffed face.

I think work towards 5k slowly and try some warm up and down stretches without looking like a lunatic 😂

😂 That's pretty much my plan too! Keep posting on here and we can get to the magical 5k together! I graduate tomorrow and would love to get nearer to 4k for that... Fingers crossed!

Well done and congratulations on graduating Milajayne, that's a great picture and I hope that smile doesn't fade any time soon!

Enjoy the celebrating later and keep us posted on how you find reaching 5k and anything more. Maybe if you haven't already seek out a parkrun, they are pretty fun :)

Theres a few near me...I’m a bit scared of them! Will join when I feel confident to run it all 😀

Don't feel too scared Milayane, I checked the stats on last week's one that's nearest me and 100 people finished their 5k in over an hour. There will be people there that probably walk all or most of the way. I hope you grow in confidence soon 😊
