NHS Couch to 5K or ZenLab C25K.

Is everyone using the NHS C25K?

The reason I ask is that ZenLabs appears to show the last run as W8R3 then it's 5k. However NHS C25K has a week 9 also...granted it's all 30 mins runs but I'm curious to find out if everyone's just using NHS C25K or not πŸ˜‚

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and explains all about the NHS C25k plan, which is what this forum is primarily dedicated to.

Enjoy your journey.

I use NHS c25k. You can choose your trainer.

Halfway is once you have completed week 5 run 2 - 14 runs out of 27 😊 πŸƒ

Good luck, let us know how you get on

You’ve found your way to health unlocked, we are primarily following nhs podcasts or one life app. This is the best place, ever, if you want to follow the program. Good luckπŸ€ happy running

Most people are following the NHS program but the good advice and support is available to anyone. I did my original c25k with a running club, and there were some tiny differences. It took the full 9 weeks though. That last week of consolidation is important. Good luck whichever way you do it

I've not heard of the ZenLab programme, but I can completely vouch for C25K πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜

The zen lab and nhs are very very similar I started with nhs and I’m now doing zen lab, either one is gonna give you the same results. X
