Welcome!

Making the decision to get out and do that first run is often the hardest part of this.

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 😊

[CazzaJJ Graduate]

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!

Enjoy your journey.
