Welcome! The couch to 5k programme is really good, don’t try to push yourself, take it easy and have a look at Japanese slow jogging 😊

Hi, well done on joining this group and the C25K programme. You’ve done the hardest part! Take it easy and as others have said slowly and that way you will make progress. Good luck!
