I have had the couch25k downloaded on my iphone for ages, always meaning to do it, but never, actually getting round to it.

I think I am fairly fit, I go to the gym, do zumba classes and walk to and from school twice a day, which is a mile and a half round trip.

The thought of running has always appealed to me.

I started yesterday, just walking and jogging up and down the garden path, with my dog in tow. No aches, just looking forward to tomorrow:)))

Well done you for starting, but ... you must have a fairly decent garden path ?!!

Welcome to the community, you will find it a great place for help and support.

LOL, I was thinking exactly the same - that is a hell of a garden! My yard is only about 7metres, that would be a lot of circles just to get one 60 second run in! Good luck with the rest of the programme Mrs Bird!

I've just finished with the couch25k app and started on the path in my garden too. I emerged on week 6 but found it so different on the roads that I had to redo week 6 for a couple of weeks! I found that I ran faster (although still quite slow!) on the roads than in the garden. I'm so pleased that I can now run 30 minutes and I can now run (or rather jog) with a smile on my face too!
