Well done 👍 for getting out there. Take it nice slow. You may need to Japanese slow run less strain on your back.

Well done for trying.

Can you walk briskly for thirty minutes non stop?

If you can, then C25k should be within your scope.

If not, then maybe you need to build up your walking stamina first.

First steps first.

Get that 30 minutes of brisk walking under your belt.

Not what you're looking for?
