Ooh, it's Sarah Millican again!

I have been struggling, and continue to do so, to get back into a running routine. I started "plodding" back in 2012 and did so regularly for about 4 years. It was my escape from the stresses

Today I started the second week of couch to 5K which consists of a 5 minute warm up, 90 sec x 6 with a 2 minute walk in between and finishing with a 5 minute walk. I generally found it easier than week

Today I inadvertently introduced some uphill running for the first time. Up until now, I've varied my routes around the river. That means there's a steep hill down and up again to get there, but I build

So today was run 2 of week 4 for me and it felt really good, mainly because I learned something valuable. I had been thinking that I was running as slowly as I could, but when I read the forums (yes, the

So a couple of weeks ago, I finally got round to starting the Couch to 5k (c25k) programme, put my trainers on and waddled out for half an hour down by the river. The programme is really gentle and as
