Walking is good to build your stamina before you start running, especially if you’ve been sedentary for a long time.. just getting outside and active is what’s important.. lots of support on this forum.. good luck with getting started and when you do you can repeat any week as many times as needed.. take care, and good luck..😊

Welcome to the forum and well done

on getting started.

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.

Enjoy your journey.

Well done on starting! It sounds like you’re a fighter and so it might take longer than 9 weeks but that’s just a guide. Many ?most? of us repeat weeks. Repeat until you can do the runs (it might still be a struggle! - it IS a challenge after all).
