NHS Couch to 5K

This is a running plan designed to get complete beginners from couch potato to running 5k (or 30 minutes) in nine weeks. It is: - Achievable - starting with a mix of running and walking and building up slowly - Virtually free - all you need is a decent pair of trainers and an MP3 player (a regular mobile phone will do) - Easy - a motivating 'personal trainer' tells you exactly when to stop and start. The plan sets three runs per week with a day of rest between each run.
Very effective

I can’t believe a podcast from 2012 holds up so well, but it really, really works. Got me up and moving and maybe even enjoying running?
NHS to the rescue

Want to download a couch to 5k app? They’ll charge you crazy money to get past week 1 (think $69 or even $99/ year subscription fee!) There was a free NHS app, but only available in the UK. Thankfully found their 12 year old podcast and it’s exactly what I need! Low key, prompts to walk and run, and a nice example of what governmental services can do for their population.
Fantastic program to get back into running

Program works and guides one to get back into shape. Good pace and approach. Host and presenter - sets a nice confident tone - you will enjoy Laura’s helping guidance and tips throughout. Nicely done program!
This definitely worked for me

The program itself is great. I had the episodes from the web site. Played one episode so far this time around from here. If the episodes were to fail, I would suggest to get the episodes directly from the website. I do recommend the program.
