Welcome to the gang and really well done for getting started.

Dont stress about the name. Most people dont make 5k by the end of the program.

The real objective of this, is to get you running for 30 minutes 3 times a week.

I know that even this seems a big ask. But just take it one run at a time and trust in the program.

And take it nice and slow! There are no prizes for speed here!.

Good luck with your first run and let us know how you get on.

We've all been through it or are going through it. So we're here to help and support!

Thank you for the encouragement. Just getting out and trying will be a big step and a confidence boost. I will report back tomorrow when I’ve undertaken step 1!

I’ve just done the first one this afternoon.

Wow it nearly killed me 😅 I’m so unfit.

Well done on taking the first steps

That could have been me saying those words on 1st November last year.

Give yourself a chance, give the program a chance - it’s well-paced and well-designed.

Enjoy your progress 👍🏃‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽
