hi, I have joined this program but can’t find anywhere that tells me how to start! I would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the NHS Couch to 5K app? If you have an Android phone, just go to Playstore and search 'NHS Couch to 5K' and you should find it (or there'll be something similar in Apple). There are other programs too but I think most of us go with the NHS app.

The Plan involves running three times a week for 9 weeks, though a lot of us take longer . You build up the time and distance, starting with running for just a minute at a time. By the end of the ninth week you will be able to run for 30 minutes.

The name 'Couch to 5K' is a little misleading in this respect - not everyone is physically capable of running a 30 minute 5K, self included, but if you can run for 30 minutes you can build up to running a 5K if you want to.

Good luck and let us know how you get on
