Good evening everyone. Following my ICD procedure back in March . I thought I’d do something to help me both physically and mentally. I’m looking to get going in the Couch to 5K
How’s everyone finding it?
I used to be very active at school in the 80’s and I’ve done a park run around 6 years ago! A few random challenges over the years like squat for a month or walks. But nothing recently

I did C25K a few years ago and I have recently started getting back into it. I'll admit that I was disappointed I had to go all the way back to the beginning but I'm finding I'm really enjoying. Early days but I am looking forward to the rest of the program!
Welcome to the community. The c25k programme is amazing - really well structured and helps you build your stamina and get your body and mind into running. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I would echo IannodaTruffe's advice to read the guide. It was something I only discovered after completing all 9 weeks of C25K!
If you were active at school and have done a park run previously I 'm sure you will be fine. I was totally rubbish at sport at school and detested running so when I first started C25K I was not optimistic about completing it. However, despite a couple of minor setbacks along the way I have achieved something that I would have thought impossible!
