Unless you’ve got a sports watch like a garmin, you’ll need to download an app on your phone. Strava is the most popular but there’s Nike run club, Map my run etc too.

Thanks! I'll download Strava. Would be great if it was part of the app!

Welcome to the forum.

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.

There is a list of tracking apps known to work with the C25k app in the guide.

Enjoy your journey.

I use Strava for data and Runkeeper to shout my time and distance every half km.
