Hey all, so I’m new here. Dad of two boys. Currently rocking the dadbod 2.0 and needs to change. I’m looking to move career but I need to be super fit for this career. I’m starting tomorrow my first run in about 8 years.

Welcome aboard! Good luck with all these new ventures. Don't push yourself too hard though, slow and steady on all counts will get you where you need to be!

Do read the guide to the programme to get all the benefits!

Good luck!! Stick with it, I was so unfit and couldn’t run for more than 2 mins, about to finish the programme on my next run on Sunday! Now able to run 35 mins non stop albeit slowly! You can do this x
