OK which of my friends is mad enough to join me in my new fitness venture?
Whilst I was on holiday in Portugal my daughter, Lucy, introduced me to NHS Couch to 5K a running plan designed to get complete beginners from being a couch potato to running 5K in 9 weeks, starting with a mix of walking and running and building up slowly.
So now I have completed my first two weeks on the plan ( with Muffin, my Jack Russell x Yorkshire Terrier, who should become a very fit dog) so I know it can be done so I am issuing the CHALLENGE.
Will you join me? Just download the app from iTunes – it’s free so no excuses – put your headphones in and start running!!! Well after a five minute walk warm up. The app provides detailed instructions, music and encouragement whilst you run.
Just confirm in the comments box that you are in and we will keep in touch. Happy running!!!
