Just turned 59 and need to get myself in shape.

Had this app on my phone for at least 2 years and always had an excuse not to start .

Lockdown gave me no excuse !

Just completed week 5 , that last 20min run was tough, thank god for Jo Whiley .

Knees getting a bit twitchy but other than that feel great once recovered.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.
