In week 1 and 2 does the total time include the first 5 minutes of walk? So for example: ´For your 3 runs in week 1, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute walk, then alternate 1 minute of running and 1-and-a-half minutes of walking, for a total of 20 minutes.´ means walk 5, then run 1/walk 1.5 during 15 min ?

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

In the guide you will find a link to a spreadsheet view of the whole programme showing all the walk/run intervals.
