the TRUTH about COUCH to 5K!

In this video, I share my personal experience using the NHS Couch to 5k app to recover from a longterm injury and get back into running. The app is designed to help beginners gradually build up their endurance and reach their fitness goals, but it can also be a great tool for injury recovery.

I take you along on my journey and show you clips of my progress over the weeks, including my struggles and achievements. I discuss how I modified the program to helped me get back to running without any repercussions after a session... for the first time in years!

I also highlight the benefits of the app, such as the clear and easytofollow instructions, the incremental increase in intensity, and the motivation provided by celebrity trainers. I share how these features helped me stay on track and avoid reinjury.

However, I also discuss the app's drawbacks, including the limitations of music integration but more vitally the lack of being able to tick off sessions not done following the app's guidance and also the lack of variety toward the end not really setting up runners for things like speed work or tempo runs. Despite these minor issues, I highly recommend the NHS Couch to 5k app for anyone who wants to get back into running after an injury or a long break.

By the end of the program, I was able to complete a 30minute run without pain or discomfort, which was a huge accomplishment for me and since then have taken my long slow runs to over an hour and also got back to tempo and speed intervals. Overall, the NHS Couch to 5k app provided me with a structured and safe way to rebuild my fitness and confidence.
