Coronavirus: Lockdown boosts Couch to 5K downloads

He said:"I downloaded the app in mid-April and in the beginning I just didn't think I'd complete it. I'm one of these people who starts lots of things and can be put off if something doesn't go right.

"I'm not a sporty person at all, six weeks ago I couldn't run more than 60 seconds and now I'm at seven and eight minutes without stopping."He added that people should just trust the programme."Stick with it, it does work," he said, adding he's found the exercise has also improved his mental health. "I've got asthma and fibromyalgia and I thought it would only be good to improve my health in the long run," she added.

I ‘graduated’ at the weekend. Super slow but I couldn’t even run 30 seconds at the beginning. Cheers jowhiley for the motivation (although I never did eat a banana after a run)
