58 year old Lyn could not recommend the Couch to 5K app more highly! She found the app following a chance invitation to complete the One You health quiz online and has not looked back. The app gets absolute beginners off the couch and running in just 9 weeks. You can choose your celebrity coach including Jo Whiley, Sarah Millican, Sanjeev Kohli or Michael Johnson to keep you motivated.
‘I found it so encouraging. I really enjoy being outside and exploring the local countryside. I can feel and see a difference in myself, I sleep better and feel much stronger physically.’
Office worker Lyn has a busy schedule with a full time job and caring responsibilities for her mum. She said ‘It’s so easy to fit into your schedule and helps you track your progress over the weeks slowly increasing the distance you run each week.’
Lyn has since gone on to take part and volunteer at her local Parkrun – Parkrun organise free, weekly, 5km timed runs all over Kent. They are open to everyone, free, and are safe and easy to take part in www.parkrun.org.uk.
