Starting C25K - help

Have been severely overweight for most of my life, but have made some big changes food-wise and lost a lot of weight. Still have a bit to go, but want to add some exercise in. Do a fair bit of walking now so I do enjoy being active.

Have downloaded the app but feeling a little apprehensive. Am planning on starting tomorrow, not sure which trainer to pick? Anyone have any practical advice?

What about music? Anyone got any tracks they think will keep me motivated?

any tips really?

I went for Sarah Millican. I started listening to music but switched to podcasts after a while as I find it more interesting so the time goes faster, we'll all have our preferences.

It's not hard to start with, as long as you don't try and run too fast!
