Excellent decision!

And welcome to the forum and the program....

Be prepared to change your life 😁

The first thing I would suggest is to read this program guide !

healthunlocked.com/couchto5....

It's not short , but it's packed with essential information to get you through the program.

Next thing I would say is make sure you are sufficiently hydrated (as mentioned in the guide)

Keep all the runs at a slow jogging pace .

Come back here and let us know how you are getting on.

Most of all , Enjoy

Welcome to the forum and well done on your decision.

C25k has changed millions of lives for the better over the last twenty odd years............you can be one too.

This forum will provide you with advice, support, commiserations (if needed) and will cheer you across the finish line.

Do check out the guide to the plan linked to by Instructor57

Enjoy your journey.

Hello and welcome! You’re in for a treat, I loved the programme so much! I lost a bit of motivation over the winter, but graduating C25K left me with such faith in my earned abilities that I was able to pick it up again and now I’ve recently won my 10k badge :). This community is wonderful for keeping your spirits up and pumping up your motivation! Enjoy!
