Wellbeing Wednesday: Become fit and fabulous in 2021

January 13, 2021

Have you ever thought about completing the couch to 5K in 2021? You can build up your approach from sitting on your sofa to running 5K in just 9 weeks and reap the rewards as you build up your fitness levels.

It couldn’t be easier – here is an example:

Number 1: For your three runs in week 1, you will begin with a brisk 5-minute walk. After this, you will alternate 1 minute of running and 1-and-a-half minutes of walking. Rest days are included and it’s a fun thing to start in lockdown.
