It's a program that takes you from inactivity to being able to run non stop for 30 minutes and approximately 5k in distance through a gradual build up over 9 weeks, theres lot of different apps out there for it and programs all vary slightly but the idea is the same no matter which app/program you follow.
Link to one of the apps Ive used in the past

yay people :)
dont forget although its meant to be a run/walk/run if you cannot do a run section there is no shame in walking it, the main focus is to get out and move :) |

Yes Tifi! I'm gonna run along side Taco as he is getting a bit chunky. I've ordered a belt to wear instead of holding the lead. What could go wrong?? Lmao! If it helps (UK peeps!) There is an app supported by the BBC and its free called couch to 5k :D Ps. It would be nice to maybe sort a group chat for participants of this, to cheer each other on etc. Maybe Facebook messenger? Just a thought:D ![]() |

I'm in! I'm actually just starting up with a running group and started last Tuesday. I ended up jogging/walking 2.5 miles! I felt like I was going to keel over, but I did it, and it felt so good!
