Great for getting started. Just go slow and when you feel as if you're struggling slower again . Make sure you're drinking plenty water about 2-3 litres per day and not just on run days it really helps.

C25k is an amazing plan and really does work you'll get lots of encouragement and support on here good luck 😊😊
