I like this app, and I really like Jo whiley, yet I have now moved to another app, runkeeper as she talks all the way through the walk/run. Better for me and im really enjoying it.

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.

I might find that reassuring. On one run back in week 3 Sarah said "Run for 90 seconds, now GO!" and then the app crashed. I don't know how long I ran before deciding it really was a lot longer than 90 seconds. I've not been so confident since, so it's good to get occasional confirmation that it's still working.
