Great for getting started. Just go slow and slower again if needed and remember to drink lots of water per day and not just on run days about 2-3 litres.

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

Do it! Eight weeks ago (10 probably, I always leave two rest days) I could barely run to the end of my street. This morning I ran without stopping for 30 minutes and damn it feels good!

Good luck
