Well done! for taking your first step for it. K5 is going to make you a runner for life you will love running after following the pod casts they are really helpful. Just keep going according to instructions. Don't worry about pains they will be settled down in a day or so carry-on.

I have finished week three and starting 4th week tomorrow. Looking forward for your progress.

Best of luck.

Well done Caiken! You're now a runner! :)

I only started the C25K 4 months ago, but have already been able to run a half marathon! I don't run fast, but I love running :)

Did you know we have a Tortoise and Hare running challenge? It would be great if you joined us and posted your progress on there :)

Happy running :)

Yay, well done on making the start :)

I started with the C25K program just before Easter and haven't stopped running since! So much so, that I am doing a 10K run locally at the weekend and I can hardly wait!

So stick with it, it may seem daunting at first, but your body really does get used to it.
