So 10 years since my last run and a lot of complacency has lead to weight gain and and a lack of fitness. I have been putting off running for some months but today is the day.

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

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

Don't try to reproduce what you did ten years ago..........age takes its toll..........so be kind to yourself and just jog gently to build the stamina and you can work on pace later on.

Enjoy your journey.
