Hi all
Am walking daily at the minute. Did do c25k years ago haven't tried running in a while but tried a small -I repeat- small bit of jogging today on my walk and was in such a good mood after. Might try doing c25k again. So any recommendations? Deleted off the previous app I had was going to try a newer one! Tia!!

I used the NHS one. You can choose who you want as your coach. I chose Jo Whiley.

I love Zombies Run 5K training (by Six to Start) .. it's a story as well as a running training program! You 'play' a trainee runner in a community of survivors after a zombie apocalypse .. it's fabulous motivation to see what happens next in the story, and the voice actors are great.

Yes! You might be out doing a brisk walk around the perimeter and suddenly it's a case of "Zombies! Run!!" and you sprint for a short bit. Its a fab story and you're part of it!

FYI i just had a look as was thinking about doing it again as it's been a few years. Its been updated to version 2 and is only free for the first 3 weeks of the program, with a requirement to pay if you want to continue with weeks 4-8 😟
