Ha! I've done my first run this morning. It's good to be up & out and, I'm not going to lie, I found it hard going but, I'm just pleased I've done something! My motivation is weight loss. I need to get some confidence back. Go for it & best of luck x

Welcome to the forum and well done on your intention.

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

We can provide advice, support, consolation and cheers, but motivation has to come from you..........there is only one person who can make you do this and only one person who will stop you..........you will do it if you want to improve your fitness and mental well being..........you won't if you don't really want to.

You can do this.

Enjoy your journey.

That’s the first step ,It’s a great plan I’ve just finished week 8 and thought I’d never do it but I have .sometimes I even enjoy it lol

Good luck 👍

Keep it slow and steady and you’ll be fine,

Enjoy your journey 😊

You've done the most difficult bit of the programme by getting your shoes on and leaving the house. 👏

Read up all the advice and run really slowly. 🐌 Yes, that slowly!

Good luck!
