Have you talked to your GP? We've several members with fibromyalgia who have successfully completed the programme. The key is, as always, slow and steady and listen to your body. If you need extra rest days, take them. Although the plan states 3 runs a week you can reduce it to 2 or even one if necessary.

Read the guide and save it so you can refer to it again later healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Getting out will definitely help your depression and anxiety so if you can get started I'm sure you'll feel better, and more in control. 👍🏻😊

Good luck!
