Just signed up, just wondering how you time the walking /running. Is it done by podcast and earphones?

Yep just download the Couch to 5k app to your phone, choose a trainer and off you go! Your trainer will tell you when to start, walk, run and cool down; cheering you on along the way!

All the best!

.... you can use the app, or you can just download the good old fashioned podcasts with Laura as the original NHS C25K coach. That's what I have used (currently week 9 run 1).

Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.

This guide to the plan is essential reading explains it all 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.
